It was supposed to be a fun beach day, but the moment Bibi stepped onto the warm sand, something unexpected happened. She had always heard her family talk about how beautiful the ocean was, how peaceful the sound of the waves could be. But when Bibi finally stood in front of the vast blue sea for the first time, her excitement suddenly turned into fear.
A big wave rolled toward the shore with a loud roar. Bibi froze. Her eyes widened, her little hands shook, and she quickly grabbed Dad’s leg. “Dad! The water is chasing me!” she squeaked, her voice trembling. Dad immediately knelt down and hugged her gently, trying not to laugh but also not wanting to scare her more. “It’s okay, Bibi. The ocean isn’t chasing you,” he said softly. “It just comes and goes. It won’t hurt you.”
But Bibi still wasn’t convinced. When another wave washed up, she jumped back again, heart pounding. Even Mom couldn’t help smiling at her adorable panic. They decided to take things slowly. Dad carried Bibi closer to the water, letting her sit safely on his lap. Together, they watched the waves rise, curl, and slide back into the sea.
After a few minutes, Bibi relaxed a little. Dad held her hand and let her dip just one toe into the cool water. She squealed, but this time it was mixed with curiosity. The water wasn’t scary—it was soft, refreshing, almost playful. A tiny wave washed over her feet, and instead of running away, Bibi giggled.
Step by step, her fear turned into delight. Soon she was building sandcastles, splashing gently, and chasing tiny crabs with Mom.
By the end of the day, Bibi looked at the ocean with a proud smile. She had faced her fear—and discovered a new world of wonder waiting in the waves.
