Theo the Urchin and Carci the Crab were having a bubbly time trying to build a sandcastle on the ocean floor. But every time Theo tried to pile on the sand, Carci's sharp claw would knock it down!
"Carci! Be careful!" cried Theo, his tiny spines trembling.
"It's not my fault! Your spikes keep getting in the way!" Carci snapped back, scuttling away and accidentally knocked a large piece of sand tumbling down.

"Carci!" Theo exclaimed, "You clumsy crab! Now look what you did!"
The argument got louder until Teresa the Turtle swam by. "What's all this noise?" she asked, her calm voice cutting through their bickering.
"Theo and I were trying to build a sandcastle, but he keeps ruining it!" Carci explained. "I've always wanted one like the kids on the beach built. it looked so cool."

"Me? It's you!" Theo replied.
Sophia the Seahorse appeared, her clever mind already at work. "Why don't we work together? Carci, you can dig a deep moat around the castle, and Theo, you can build the towers," she suggested. With Teresa's guidance and Sophia's plan, the two buddies finally managed to build a little sandcastle. They laughed as the waves gently lapped at its base, proving teamwork always makes things better in Bubble Buddies Bay!
