It was a lazy, hazy day and Beachcomber decided to take an afternoon nap on a lilly pad in the pond. Just as she closed her eyes, a loud crack of thunder boomed through the air! She jumped up to see if a storm was coming, but saw only sunshine and white, fluffy clouds. Settling back to sleep, Beachcomber felt a gentle rocking beneath the lily pad. She woke to find the water was perfectly still! “It must be my imagination,” she giggled, rolling over on her tummy. As she turned, a splashing wave rose up and tickled her nose. “Happy Birthday,” shouted all her friends as the rainbow spelled out the words in the sky. “Thank you for the wonderful surprise, but my birthday is tomorrow!” Everyone laughed, including the rainbow. Beachcomber returned to her nap dreaming of the surprises in store for her tomorrow.
