The Pebble That Wanted to Be a Mountain
Smallest pebble on a windy beach, Pip measures himself against a mountain that sees the sunrise first and tells his friend Pearl he wants to matter.
Pip
Pip was the smallest pebble on a wide, windy beach.
At least, he was certain he was.
He lay between a shell with pink stripes and a stone shaped like a sleeping seal. He was smooth and grey, with one white line running across his middle.
When the tide came in, the water lifted him slightly.
When the tide went out, it put him down again.
That was his whole day.
