Dada stepped off the ferry onto the Italian coast. He waved up at his friend on the cliff path.
TOOT! The friend blew the party horn. Dada laughed all the way up the winding stone steps.
That evening, Dada danced at the wedding under strings of warm lights.
His friend slid a plate of bread and olives into his hands. Dada took a big crunchy bite.
The next morning, Dada dove into the sparkling blue ocean.
He tred water and watched a tiny green lizard on a sunlit rock.
Dada climbed the tall rocky cliffs and reached the very top.
There he spotted a silver lighthouse standing proud against the darkening sky.
Dada grinned wide, turning toward the glowing tower.
BOOM! CRACK! Fireworks burst above the lighthouse at the outdoor concert. Dada threw his arms up and laughed.
That night, Dada curled up in his little room, smiling at every wonderful moment.
He dreamed of the sea, the cliffs, and the shining tower.
