[00:25.46]A little boy is on his knees
[00:28.87]scooping and packing the sand with plastic shovels 2 into a bright blue bucket.

[02:28.30]As the wave of years collapses 8 on his castle he is terrified.

[02:40.01]Salt-water soaked and shivering he snarls 9 at the incoming tide.
[02:45.07]"It’s my castle," he protests.
[02:47.80]The ocean need not respond. Both know to whom the sand belongs...
[02:54.05]I don’t know much about sandcastles.
