Two eight year old girls stand on the shore. "You need water," Rihoko said, frowning at the crumbly mound of sand.
"Water?" Jane asked, scrunching up her nose and turning to look at the ocean from under the brim of her straw hat.
Rihoko nodded. "My dad told me the Roamin's made the best roads the world has ever seen, by mixing water, sand, and limes."
"We don't have any limes," Jane pointed out, sounding Very Practical. "Or even any lemons."
"Well, we don't want it to last a thousand years. Just today. So maybe sand and water will do."
