That same day, Catherine speaks to the waves that rippled on the sea. "I can't count you, there are too many of you!
I can't count up that high yet! I once met a wave like you.
This is what happened: I was lying on my front on the beach, with my hands in the water, amidst the sand. The wave came from far away and reached me. I put my fingers in below the crest. The wave started whirling through the sand and got my hands, arms, even my nose wet. Then it went back into the sea and the sand on my hands was all shiny."
