Lilo in: The Beach Idiots
Hawaii! This island paradise is the home of an unusual little girl named Lilo and her big sister, Nani. It's also popular with tourists, who come from all over the world to enjoy the beautiful beaches. But sharing paradise with the rest of the world can sometimes test Lilo's patience…
"Hey, kid! Where's the beach?" asked some middle-aged woman. "Uhhh…It's right there. In front of you." said Lilo, while pointing towards the direction of the beach that she was going to.
"Ask her, Steve! Ask her! We're wasting time!" said a woman named Julia, while her little kid was screaming, at the top of his lungs that he wanted to go home. Then Steve says, "Aw, lay off already, Julia -- I'm asking! Hey, little girl, which way to the beach?" "That way." said Lilo, while pointing at the beach that was less than 25 feet away from them.
Two people in a small convertible stop on the side of the road. "Hey -- check out the little Hawaiian girl!" said the girl in the convertible. Then her boyfriend asks Lilo, "Yo, kid -- which way to the beach?" So Lilo again points to the beach while the two people in the convertible call back their thanks to her as they drive off.
I can't wait until tourist season is over! thinks Lilo, who is beginning to get agitated by people asking her the same stupid question over & over again.
"This is ridiculous! There's not even room to put my towel down! There must be something I can do…" exclaims Lilo, as she finally arrives at the crowded beach.
Across the street, at the Post Office…
"Aloha, Lilo" says the woman at the desk of the local post office. "Hi, Susan. Are they still testing the sirens today?" asks Lilo. "Yes. Any minute now." Susan replies.
Soon…
"Ow! Why'd they put this dumb pole in the middle of the beach?" yells a kid as he runs into a pole while trying to chase down a flying Frisbee.
"You mean you don't know about the tsunami siren!" says Lilo to the kid.
"Sue-whatsi?" asks the kid, totally confused.
"Attention tourists! This is a tsunami siren." Lilo yells to the people around her while pointing up at the megaphone on top of the pole. "Tsunamis are big, hundred-foot-high waves that can strike at any time! So when you hear the siren sound, you better run for your lives! Because tsunamis move faster than the speed of sound and that siren is your only warning!"
"Isn't that cute!" said a woman in the crowd that had gathered around Lilo as she began to take a picture of the siren.
Suddenly, the alarm starts screaming its warning.
As all the people are running away from the beach as fast as they can, Lilo lays out her beach blanket while saying "Works every time."
"I don't see any giant wave", says the fat sun-burned guy whose ice cream always falls off the cone before he can lick it. "If you lived here, you'd understand" says Lilo while she is laying on her beach blanket & reading some various celebrity magazine.
