Another original "Kipper" story created by me and tate310, this time it's "Watching Arnold" Enjoy and comment.

One day, Kipper the Dog was taking Tiger and Arnold to the beach for the day, while Pig went to visit his relatives.

Tiger was carrying lots of stuff. When they finally found a perfect spot to set up, he placed the stuff down and rubbed his aching arms. He started to take out the stuff, while Arnold watched him, sucking his thumb.

"Come on Arnold, let's build a sand castle." he said gently.

They built a lovely sand castle. When they arrived back, Tiger was just finishing unpacking.

"Hello Kipper and Arnold. I thought you were building a sand castle."
"We just finished building one. Do you want to see it?"

"After I get this beach umbrella open. Kipper, do you want to give me a hand?"

"I'll try."

So Kipper tried to open the umbrella, but he couldn't!

"That's not good." said Tiger. "Why don't we press this button?"

Tiger pressed the button, and the umbrella opened like magic!

"Well that was easy! Now let's have some lunch!"
"Arnold! Lunchtime!"

But Arnold was missing!

"Where could he have gone?" wondered Kipper.

They searched the entire beach for Kipper.

"Where is he?" said Kipper nervously.

Then, they saw some bread crumbs, which soon lead to Arnold! He was feeding some seagulls.

"Duck!" cried Arnold.

"There you are silly!" said Kipper. "Let's go have some lunch!"

Arnold put one thumb in his mouth, then took Kipper's hand.

After a delicious lunch of roast beef sandwiches, they decided to take a swim in the ocean.

But just then, Arnold spotted some ducks

"Duck!" said Arnold.

"We'll feed them later!" said Tiger. "Now let's go swimming!"

After the swim, Kipper and Tiger relaxed in the shade while Arnold fed the ducks.

Soon Pig arrived.

"Hello Kipper and Tiger! How was Arnold?"

"Wonderful! He's over there feeding the ducks!" said Kipper.

"Hello Arnold! Are you ready to go home?"

"Duck!" cried Arnold.

Everyone laughed!
