The Waves That Smiled

There sat a lighthouse on the coast. This coast was a small length of sandy beach. As well as there was a town on that beach. And this town was a small yet happy town. The people were always busy, the children played and the small trucks went back and forth from the town to the bay were they fished. There were many storms that came over the small town but yet the waves never touched the town. In fact the highest they would get, would be during high tide. The days of the town passed by slowly though. The sun would come up glistening over the peaceful water that had occasional morning fishing boats. As the the sun come over the town, it awoke. With the same small trucks going to the bay, and the same people opening their shops, and the same children playing. As the noon came the waves would crawl up the beach and lick the base of the light house. Then they would crawl back down towards the ocean. As winter same the town would gather on the last day of summer and have a gathering on the beach. And they would always make sure to give back towards the ocean. Weather that meant cleaning or not fishing for one day. And after every day the ocean would make sure that the town was protected. One day there was reports of a hurricane that was expected to make land fall at the small town. As the towns people began to evacuate, the waves calmly looked over the town with an expression of protection and somehow a happy face. Three days later the towns people began arriving back towards the town, expecting to be greeted with a destroyed town due to reports of other towns having been destroyed. Yet when they arrived the town was in near perfect condition. They were amazed. the towns people began to praise the ocean for protecting them. And at the end of that day they had a party of celebration for the surviving of the town. And as the sun set the waves of the beach smiled, for he knew that no harm would come to the town.
