Thomas J. Tooth Goes Camping at the Ocean The Brilliant Adventures of Thomas J. Tooth
-
- Stories for Kids
Once upon a time, or actually it was many times upon a time, Thomas J. Tooth went with his family camping at the ocean. It was one of his favorite places to go, and he would play in the trees around the campsite, help make campfires, build forts on the beach out of driftwood, and sleep in a tent. His most favorite thing to do was walk on the beach and look for beautiful rocks, sand dollars, sea shells, and make the clams squirt up water.
One afternoon he was walking down the beach with his dad, and they walked for a long time and covered quite a distance. They finally got to an area where there were large rocks jetting out into the water, and with it being high tide, they could go no farther. Thomas and his dad looked through all the rocks and shells they had gathered, kept the nicest ones, then began their walk back towards the camp. Thomas started walking in the water, and with it being a cloudy, breezy day, his dad reminded him to be careful and not fall into the water, because it was very cold, and they were a long way from the camp. As they walked, Thomas J. started looking down into the waves coming in and going out, and all of a sudden, he got thrown off balance looking at the moving tide, and tumbled right into the cold, wet ocean. His dad, who was walking close to him quickly pulled him out of the water and found Thomas J. totally soaked, cold and trying to catch his breath. He picked Thomas J. up and ran to the logs up on the beach, pulled Thomas’ wet clothes off, took off his own shirt, and wrapped Thomas up in it. Then his dad started running with Thomas J. in his arms. Even though Thomas was fairly dry, he was still cold, and so his dad ran as fast as he could. They soon realized how far they had traveled down the beach, because it was taking a long time to get back. After, what seemed like an eternity, they got into camp. There was a toasty camp fire burning, and it felt so good to Thomas J. Pretty soon there was some nice warm water, and Thomas got cleaned up, and put on dry clothes.
The family ate their dinner, made s’mores, and Thomas drank a big cup of hot cocoa, which warmed his insides. Then it was time for bed, so he brushed himself shiny clean, because the K-germ, or cavity monster was camping at the beach, too, and Thomas didn’t want to get a cavity.
Even though he had fallen into the ocean and got wet and cold, Thomas J. went to bed that night, in his nice warm sleeping bag thinking it was the best walk on the beach he ever had, because he did it with his dad.
