One rainy autumn day, when the sea was gray, a grain of sand found itself in a little Oyster. There were many black clouds in the sky and none of them observed this event. The grain of sand started to transform into a Pearl. Day after day the Pearl grew. The Oyster refused to talk with her friends. All of the mollusks thought that she had too high of an opinion of herself. In reality, the Oyster felt a little treasure inside herself and she decided to keep her secret. One Spring day, when the sun was shining, the Oyster decided to lie on the beach. A Wave helped her to get to a nice beach, because all the sea-waves always wish the mollusks well. When the Oyster was on the beach, a fisherman’s son was running on the seashore. He was looking for some interesting things, such as shells, starfishes, etc… The sun was shining softly therefore the little Oyster opened her shells. She wanted to warm up her Pearl… And the boy saw her. He threw a pile of broken shells away and ran to the Oyster. The
Oyster didn’t worry about anything. “ Let this poor child see my beautiful
Pearl”, she thought.
