Paint Picture & Story designed by Tamie Fulgham
Johnny is 8 years old. His favorite place is the beach. Every year his family takes a trip to the beach. When Johnny grows up he wants to live on his own island so he can have the beach all to himself and not have to share with anyone.
When Johnny grew up he bought a sailboat. He sailed away until he found the perfect little island. The first day was great. He explored the island and found some food. He played in the water and the sand. Finally, he watched the sunset on the horizon.
The next day Johnny started to get lonely. He started to miss his family and friends. He decided that having his own island wasn't so much fun if there was no one to share it with. So Johnny sailed away again, back to his home town to be with his family and friends.
