Marg arrives at the beach and can't wait to start building sandcastles! She loves the feeling of the soft sand between her toes and the sound of the seagulls flying above. "I love the beach!" she exclaims. First, Marg collects seashells in her bucket. "I need the perfect shells to decorate my castle!" she says to herself. She finds a beautiful pink shell, a shiny white shell, and a swirly brown shell. Next, Marg starts building her castle. She digs a hole in the sand and packs it tight. Then, she adds water to make the sand stick together. "Look, I made a mountain!" Marg shouts. As she builds, Marg counts her seashells. "One, two, three! I have three seashells!" She uses them to decorate her castle, making a pretty pattern on the top. Just then, a gentle breeze blows, and Marg's castle starts to melt. "Oh no! My castle is melting!" But Marg doesn't give up. She builds again, this time using sticks to hold up her castle walls. As the sun begins to set, Marg's mom calls her over to build a sand-tunnel together. "Wow, look at our tunnel!" Marg exclaims. "We did it, Mommy!" Together, they watch the sunset over the ocean, feeling happy and proud of their creations.

Marg waddled along the beach, his little feet sinking into the sand. Suddenly, he spotted a wise old turtle sitting on a rock, gazing out at the ocean. The turtle's shell twinkled like the stars on a clear night. "Hi, little one!" the turtle said, his voice low and soothing. "What brings you to our beautiful beach?" "I'm Marg!" he replied, his eyes wide with excitement. "I love playing on the beach!" The turtle smiled. "Peaceful minds keep our oceans clean. Let's pick up trash and make a difference!" he said, holding up a small bag. Marg's eyes widened as the turtle showed him the trash on the beach: plastic bags, broken toys, and discarded wrappers. Together, they picked up each piece of trash, counting as they went: "One, two, three, four, five!" As they cleaned, the turtle taught Marg about the ocean's creatures: the fish that swam in schools, the coral reefs that shimmered like rainbows, and the seaweed that flowed like green hair. As the sun began to set, the beach sparkled like a treasure trove. Marg hugged the turtle. "Thank you, friend! I promise to keep our ocean clean!" The turtle smiled, his eyes twinkling. "You're a true friend to our ocean, Marg. Keep spreading the message: peaceful minds keep our oceans clean!"

Marg and her friend Terry the Turtle loved playing on the beach. But one day, they saw something yucky - trash everywhere! There were plastic bottles, old toys, and even a fishing net tangled on the sand. Marg and Terry decided to work together to clean it up. "Let's pick up the trash, Terry!" Marg exclaimed. Terry nodded, and they got to work. They picked up a plastic bottle, a broken toy car, and even a old shoe! Marg counted as they put each piece of trash into a big bag. "One, two, three... we've picked up eight things already!" As they cleaned, they saw some creatures helping too. A seagull picked up a chip bag in its beak, and a crab carried a small piece of paper in its claws. Marg and Terry cheered them on. When they finished, the beach sparkled in the sun. Marg beamed with pride. "I feel happy when the beach is clean!" she said. Terry smiled, and they both did a happy dance on the clean beach.

Marg carefully wrapped her little hands around the turtle's neck and gave a big hug. "I'll miss you, dear friend," she whispered. The turtle smiled and said, "Wise choices bring peaceful hearts, Marg. Keep exploring and caring for our world!" Marg beamed with pride, remembering all the wonderful things they had done together. She recalled counting the colorful sea shells on the beach, learning about the different shapes and patterns. They had also explored the garden, watching the buzzing bees collect nectar from flowers. Marg felt grateful for the turtle's wise words and promised herself to take care of the environment. As she let go of the turtle, she noticed the sun beginning to set, casting a warm orange glow across the sky. Marg took one last look at her friend and whispered, "Goodbye, dear turtle. I'll come back soon!"

Marg was playing with his favorite fish toy on the beach. But oh no! A big wave came and swept it away. Marg was devastated. He searched high and low, but couldn't find it anywhere. Just then, a friendly turtle poked his head out of the water. "Hello, little friend! What's wrong?" he asked. Marg explained how he lost his toy. The turtle said, "Don't worry, I'll help you find it!" Together, they searched under the pier, behind the rocks, and even in the seaweed. Finally, the turtle spotted something shiny. "Look, Marg! Is that your toy?" Marg's eyes sparkled. "Yes! It is!" He hugged the turtle. "I'm so happy I found my fish toy!" The turtle smiled. "I'm happy too, Marg. We make a great team!"
