Sand Castles………Entry for October 11, 2006

Two children began to build sand castles on the shore. One of them chose a site several yards above the topmost reach of the waves. The other child built his castle close to the waves which battered his walls and towers. Through the constant need to make repairs, the boy learned to build a strong castle which waves could not damage. The castle of the other childs had no contact with the waves, so he never learned how to make it sturdy. When an unusually high wave smashed against the castle…….it melted.
