Maria was a clerk at a clothing store, and Lisa was a clerk at a supermarket. Their hours varied, so they didnt get to spend a whole lot of time together. But last weekend both were off work. Lets go to the beach, suggested Maria. Thats a good idea, agreed Lisa. Which one? Well, I would prefer an uncrowded beach, because I think Ive put on a few pounds recently. I dont want any boys seeing my fat. Oh, please, said Lisa. You eat so little. Ounces dont turn into pounds. How about Zuma Beach? Thats pretty far north of Santa Monica Beach, so its just rightnot too crowded and not too empty. That sounds good, said Maria. The drive to the beach took more than an hour. When they got there, the hot and sunny Hollywood weather had become cool, windy, and overcast beach weather. Both of them had been to the beach many times before, so they were not surprised by the change in weather. They put on their jackets, shoes, and socks, and headed north to hunt for seashells. Within an hour they had collected about 20 beautiful shells into a plastic bag. They were still walking slowly north when they heard a roar. They turned around to see a four-wheel All Terrain Vehicle coming rapidly toward them. The driver braked at the last moment. Sand flew onto the two girls. They both screamed. |
