Franklin says, "I was swimming out there, and it came floating by . . ."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown holds the beach ball and says, "My silly sister threw it into the water." Franklin says, "I see you're making a sand castle . ."<BR><BR> Franklin sits by the sand castle and says, "It looks kind of crooked." Charlie Brown stands next to the sand castle and says, "I guess maybe it is . . Where I come from, I'm not famous for doing things right . . ."<BR><BR>
