Bibi and the golden beach

One upon a time there was a little red crab who lived in Fisherland, a little town inhabited only by fishermen.
Every day, from the cliffs, he used to watch the ships of the fishermen rolling and coming back full of fishes. The fear of ending up caught in the net of the fishermen brought him to conduct a solitary life until the day a man, whom he never had seen before and did not wear big yellow or green boots but was entirely dressed in white – arrived in town. The crab was curious and once he found the courage, he approached the man that was wearing also a big white hat. He introduced himself and started freely to tell about his solitary life and his fear to end up cooked. The man reassured him and told him he was going to leave for a long journey on a huge ship, which would lead him to travel around the world and visit the most beautiful places. The crab was so exited that he asked immediately if he could join him to discover all these new cities, but above all to meet new children to play with.
The man agreed and gave him an appointment at the peer number 2.
The crab was so happy that he decided to buy a blue cap and a big pipe to look like a real seaman. Than, together with many other people, he boarded: the ship bearded off and soon enough the little fishermen town was left behind.
Full of joy the crab went looking for his friend to thank him. Finally he found him in the ship’s kitchen, busy preparing the lunch for the crew. Without any suspects the little crab prepared his pyjamas, his pillow and laid out his old blanket inside a big pot. During the day he spent his time sunbathing, catching up with children and playing and swimming with them in the pool. But one fine day, coming back to what meanwhile had become its home, he found a bad surprise: his pot was on the cooking stove, full of water, puffing like an old steam engine.
He looked straight into the eyes of his supposed to be friend and realized immediately he was in danger. He understood that the pot on the stove was ready to cook him.
So he started to look around for a way to escape and eventually he spot on one of the walls an open port hole, to let the steam out.
Like a professional soccer player he let the cook think he wanted to escape on the right, where all other pots where stapled, but suddenly he changed direction and run trough the mountains of plates aiming straight to the port hole.
Using an old ladle as a spring board he jumped in the dark and the only noise that could be heard from the kitchen was an enormous: SPLASH.
Our little red friend was safe and sound now, free to swim in the endless blue sea.
Taking advantage of the current, he than reached a soft and golden beach.
After spending the night in company of some doves, in the morning he decide it was time to explore the surroundings, to better understand where he was. Soon enough he realized he was on a huge beach full of shells, crabs and with many children.
They were all playing worriless together at the beach shore. Therefore he decided to get closer to a girl and ask her the name of this beautiful beach.
Smiling the girl said.” We are in Bibione, a place where people come to spend their holydays”. The little red crab began to look around and saw only the happy faces of people playing and walking around. He taught that it had to be a special and tranquil place, if everybody was that happy.
The girl than asked: “What is your name?” and the crab answerd: "From now on my name shall be Bibi, because I want to spend the rest of my life on this soft beach”.
Thus Bibi asked the girl to help him build his new home, a huge sand castle near the sea. There from his bed he was able to admire the sunset and the sunrise.

Since than Bibi lives in Bibione surrounded by many friends and being loved by all children that spend their summer holydays in this beautiful Venetian sea resort.
