Along the seashore(海边),the tall coconut(椰子)trees waved
in he wind. The sand was white in the bright sun, and the ocean was dark blue.
The houses in the town near the shore, were painted white. The boats had been
pulled up on the shore. Usually they would all be in the water with
hard-working fishermen. But today was a holiday, and everyone was
preparing for the celebration that was going to take place that evening.
In the distance, men could be seen climbing the
coconut trees. They were singing as they worked. There were monkeys in the
trees, too. The monkeys were jumping up and down and screaming angrily.The
climbers just laughed at the monkeys and continued to pick the fruits.
