The Lighthouse Lesson (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)

In a small coastal town, there was a lighthouse keeper who loved to pray each morning as the sun cast a pure glow over the sea. One day, a group of children came to learn about the sea. Before heading out, they took a quick poll to decide which activities they wanted to do. They were curious about the difference between a pool and the ocean. The keeper explained, a pool is calm, but the sea can pour its waves onto the shore fiercely. He showed them how to pull a net and catch fish, and they were thrilled. Why is this boat tied to the port? One child asked. To keep it safe from drifting, he replied. During their visit, the children took a moment to pose by the lighthouse, making funny faces and capturing memories. They noticed a poor starfish stranded on the shore, and gently placed it back into the water, feeling proud. As they prepared to leave, one child decided to post a thank you note on the lighthouse store, expressing gratitude for the day’s lessons.
