星期天，爸爸带我去海边玩。

On Sunday, Dad took me to the seaside to play.
我用小桶装沙子，堆了一座漂亮的沙堡。

I filled my little bucket with sand and built a pretty sandcastle.
忽然，一个大浪打过来，把沙堡冲走了。

Suddenly a big wave crashed in and washed the sandcastle away.
我难过得哭了起来。

I was so sad that I started to cry.
爸爸摸摸我的头说：“没关系，我们一起再堆一座更大的！”

Dad patted my head and said, “It's OK. Let's build an even bigger one together!”
这一次，我们把沙堡堆在离海远一点的地方。

This time, we built the sandcastle a little farther from the sea.
