Hooray for Summer! 

Read the second part of Bibi´s story

“Awesome!” Come on, let’s build a sand castle and play paddle ball on the seashore”. Bibi was trying to hit the ball when he fell out of bed, landing right on the floor. “Ouch!!! he cried. He opened his eyes and looked out of the window; it was pitch dark and the stars high above still reflected in the glassy surface of the sea.
