The story
Everyone went down to the pier to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic.
Bento was curious about something else: who looked after the sea when the day was done?
He sat down with his binoculars and waited, while the waves broke against the rocks.
When the lighthouse came on, Bento lit his little lantern too.
It seemed only fair to keep company with someone who would be awake all night.
Notice
At the end of a long pier, with a lantern and binoculars. This is where the river becomes the sea.
