My adventure at the beach
Once when I was four I was left all alone at the beach. Here's what happened. My family and some friends had gone to the ocean to spend the day. There were nine of us there: Mommy, Daddy, my new baby brother, the baby sitter to help with the baby, our close friends and their two girls. We had a good time playing in the sand and the water. I was allowed to play in the very shallow water, but I was always supposed to be where Mommy and Daddy could see me and I could see them.

I started walking back and forth, and as I walked I cried. But do you know what else I did? I sang Mrs. Eddy's hymn—my favorite—"Shepherd, show me how to go...." Christian Science Hymnal, No. 304. The complete stanza reads:
