As the day went on, more of Pippin’s friends started to gather. A curious walrus, a few playful seals, and even a shy Arctic fox wandered over to see what all the fuss was about. They all couldn’t help but laugh at the unusual “beach day,” but they appreciated Pippin’s spirit. And, although it wasn’t the tropical paradise Pippin had imagined, they found a unique joy in their little sunny corner of the icy world.
Pippin spent the day basking in the sun, chatting with his friends, and nibbling on fish. They played games in the snow and pretended they were on a sandy beach, with the icebergs acting as waves. They even built a sandcastle out of snow, decorated it with some shiny rocks, and took turns pretending to swim in the “waves” of chilly water.
