STORY 4: CHASING ON THE BEACH

 CHASING ON THE BEACH

1-Sentence Summary            : A naughty monkey named Ken whose guitar box broken by a coconut fruit, and he tried to catch a little crab named Ten on the beach to make a new guitar box by Ten’s hard carapace. 

Ken was a little naughty monkey. Ken often created a lot of tricks to tease others. Ken also really liked playing the guitar. One day, when he was playing his guitar and dancing on the beach, a coconut fruit suddenly fell down on his guitar. His guitar box was broken. Ken sat down, sighed and thought: “How to buy a new one without money?” He tried to find a way to make a new guitar box by himself.

Ken looked around the area, and then his crafty eyes stopped at a small dune which had a crab creeping inside. That crab had a quiet nice carapace. Ken saw that Ten was completely wrapped in scratching sands. Then an idea flashed across his mind. Ken imagined a new guitar box made by the hard carapace of the crab. Ken was so excited with that idea, so he thought that he has to catch Ten at any cost.

Ken went over and struck up a conversation with Ten. However, Ten looked at Ken with cautious eyes. Ten was a very clever and nimble crab so he could guess something dangerous was going to happen from Ken’s cunning eyes. Ken raised his hands planning to snatch Ten but Ten had casted the sands all over Ken’s face already.

Ken got angry and he chased Ten on the beach. Ten picked up a banana on the way. Then he crept into the sands in time for hiding from Ken. Ten used that banana to lure Ken. Ken jumped with sparkling eyes when he saw the banana. Ken ran like the wind and snatched the banana. Ken sat down on the dune where Ten was hiding below in the sands. When Ken was going to eat the banana, Ten used his sharp-pointed pincers to prick Ken’s buttock. He felt so sore. He shouted, bounced up and fell down the water surface. 

Ken struggled a while, then he found a branch and swung himself onto it. Ken jumped ashore drenched. This time, Ken flew into a rage with his eyes flashing angry glares.

Ken saw Ten and continued to chase Ten along the beach. Ten lolled his tongue out to challenge Ken. Ten laughed, overjoyed because he won Ken. Suddenly, he saw a big shadow behind. That was a guy who was finding crabs for his dinner with a small jacket on his hands. Ten looked back and saw Ken had caught him already. Ten pranced and held fast to Ken’s nose. That guy scratched Ken’s nose but he could not pull Ten out. Ken got hurt so he ran away.

Finally, the guy chased Ken. Ken ran along the beach with his nose stuck tightly with Ten there.
