Bear likes to play with a beach ball but not Chipmunk. Bear hopes to see a big fish but not Chipmunk. Bear had fun at the beach but for Chipmunk everything that could go wrong for him did. On the way home Bear asked why Chipmunk went to the beach if he didn’t like the beach? What do you think Chipmunk said?
