Storyline
MY YAM MUH BEACH is too crowded: The kids are underfoot! They find a sand bar. Their beach umbrella serves triple-duty: first for shade; then as a raft, after the tide come in, cutting them off from the mainland; then as tree house, after they are blown offshore to a desert island where alligators dwell! Come day, hunter Gooney sights a Gollyfinkle's nest (the inverted beach umbrella cum tree house). HunterHarry's warning is interrupted by a loud repor!, Andy gurgles at Gooney: Take your big foot off my neck! Charlie squalls: Kids can't keep out from underfoot even on a desert island!

Du Bois writing markers: •LANGUAGE (accent wordplay, "MY YAM MUH"; onomotopoeia sound effect "WHUSH WHUSH of the waves"; sound effect dialogue"'EEYAWK!' squawked Charlie," "crowed Charlie," "cackled Charlie," who speaks with implied chicken voice; rural idiom "real for-sure," "Hollering hoptoads!"); specific word meaning "squalled Charlie," "a loud report interrupted.") •NATURE (beach, sand bar, tide, ocean, wind, sun, salt water, island, crabs, coconuts, turtle eggs; Trees category: avocado tree, tree to sleep in "with a couple of branches high above the ground.") •ANIMALS (crabs, turtle eggs; sounds of alligators [Charlie thought lions] which moves the plot forward, to sleep in a tree, explains the hunters' presence, enables the plummeting denoument.)
