The sun was warm. The waves went splash! Kai loved the beach. He loved to surf. He loved to run in the sand. Today was a big day. Tonight was the big gig by the sea!
"Help! Help!" said a little voice. It was Jig the pig! He was pink and round. He wore a tiny bow tie. And he looked very, very sad. "What is wrong, Jig?" asked Kai.
"I want to dance at the big gig!" said Jig. "But I lost my sparkly wig! I cannot dance without my wig!" A big tear rolled down his pink cheek. "Do not worry, Jig," said Kai. "I will help you dig and look!"
Dig, dig, dig! Kai and Jig dug in the sand. They dug a big hole. They dug a small hole. They found a shell. They found a stick. But no sparkly wig! "Where can it be?" asked Jig.
"Let us peek under the surfboards!" said Kai. They peeked under a red one. They peeked under a blue one. Suddenly—wiggle, wiggle! Something moved! It was a little crab doing a jig! "Have you seen a sparkly wig?" asked Kai. The crab clicked its claws. Click, click! No wig here!
"Who is that?" asked Jig. A fluffy white dog sat by a big rock. She wore a bandana and wagged her tail. "I am Twig!" said the dog. "Can I help you dig? I love to dig!" "Yes!" said Kai. "Come help us find Jig's sparkly wig!"
Now there were three! Kai, Jig, and Twig walked along the beach. Sniff, sniff! Twig smelled something sweet. They found a green turtle eating a fig. "Hello!" said the turtle. "I am Mig. That fig is yummy! Can I come too?" "The more, the merrier!" said Kai.
"Wait!" said Mig the turtle. "Did you say a sparkly wig? I saw something sparkly! It was by the big fig tree near the stage!" "The fig tree!" said Kai. "Let us go! Run, run, run!" Jig bounced. Twig zoomed. Mig walked as fast as a turtle can walk.
They ran to the big fig tree. Its leaves were wide and green. Kai looked up. He looked down. Then—what was that? Something sparkly glowed in the branches! "I see it! I see it!" cheered Jig. "My sparkly wig!"
Kai climbed up and reached the branch. He grabbed the sparkly wig. It was silver and shiny and covered in tiny glittery stars! He put it on Jig's head. "How do I look?" asked Jig. "You look amazing!" said Kai. Jig did a happy spin. Twirl, twirl, twirl!
The stars came out. The seashell lights twinkled. It was time for the big gig! Kai, Jig, Twig, and Mig climbed onto the big wooden stage. The crowd cheered! Boom, boom, clap! They danced and stomped and wiggled. Jig's sparkly wig shone bright under the stars!
Jig hugged Kai tight. "Thank you, Kai! You helped me find my wig. You helped me dig. You found me friends for the gig!" Kai smiled big. "Helping a friend is the best adventure of all." And they danced and danced until the moon said goodnight. The end!
