You decide that the little girl is your best bet of getting help. She looks really calm and peaceful building her sandcastle. You can see she's wearing a two-piece swimsuit.
As you walk towards her, you can't help but to admire her sandcastle. Sure, it looks more like a hill than a castle, but it was tall enough to reach her knee. It had a tunnel on the bottom that goes through to the other side, and a spiral staircase around it that goes all the way to the top (though it was more of a ramp). Not bad for a 7 year old.
You ponder whats the best way to get her attention, but only for a moment. The obvious answer didn't elude you. The girl is concentrating really hard on the details she's making to the top of her castle. If you climb it (which you can easily do with the help of the staircase) you're going to get her to notice you for sure.
And so you do just that, you run up the stairs. But something unexpected happens when you reach the top. The girl is leaning over her sandcastle, carefully working towards adding detail, when you suddenly show up from around the last corner, startling her. She looses her balance and falls with her stomach on top the sandcastle, destroying it.
After a few seconds of denial, the girl stands up and analyzes the damage. Now the castle really do look like just a hill. The tunnel caved in completely, and there's no hint of a spiral staircase or the details on the top she was working so hard towards. The little girl quietly sobs for a few seconds.
But what about the thing that startled her? She looks for you all around her sandcastle, but is not able to find you there. She then looks down on her stomach, and finds you wedged inside her bellybutton.
She plucks you out and holds you in front of her face, pinning you between her index finger and thumb. You're able to take a good look on her face.
