¹     Maddy and her father went to the shore after the storm. Maddy found some shells. Maddy's dad found a sea urchin. It was a little animal. It looked like a pin cushion.
 
²     They put the sea urchin in a bucket of water to keep it safe. They had to wait for low tide to put it in the tidal pool.
 
³     Maddy and Dad were at the house. It was near the shore.
 
⁴     "Maddy," said Dad. "The tide has gone out now. Let's take the sea urchin to the tidal pool."
 
⁵     It had stopped raining. The sky was still cloudy. Dad picked up the bucket with the urchin.
 
⁶     "Where is the tidal pool, Dad?" asked Maddy.
 
⁷     "It is near those rocks just ahead," said Dad.
 
⁸     "Can I get into the pool?" asked Maddy.
 
⁹     "No," said Dad. "Tidal pools are full of ocean life. If you were to play in it, you could hurt many animals."
 
¹⁰     "Can we sit on the side and look in?" asked Maddy.
