Return To Nature Through Beer Cans

The bright yellow sun was hot, and the fresh blue water was cold. It was a hot summer afternoon down at

the beach. The waves came up onto the beach and washed up all the shells. I was in the middle of the summer

holiday. I went down to Queensland with my family. We were staying in a beautiful hut by the beach. My parents

were inside having a cup of tea, my older brother was visiting some of his old friends, and my dog had gone for

a walk.

I was building sand castles and decorating them with beautiful white pearly shells. Suddenly a beer can washed

up onto the shore. This beer can had bits of coral grown on it. I had never seen anything like it. I picked it up. I

started taking it to my parents. The coral suddenly turned into a beautiful purple rock with a heart carved in it.

Then just as I was about to open the front door, the rock turned back into coral.

I ran into my bedroom. I spent one hour trying to find out how to change it to a rock and back again. A whole

night went by. In the morning I was thinking about the purple rock when the coral changed into its rock form.

Later on I realized that it changed form depending on what object I was thinking about.
