Quarta had to get special permission to go, since the teachers were worried she’d struggle to keep up and, if
there were any danger, she’d cause problems for the other students. But she was allowed to go, mainly

since everyone knew that Kako, a boy who had all four arms and legs, was the real problem. He kept
wandering off to look at creatures on the seashore, getting lost, or worse, getting trapped in a tidal pool and
having to be rescued.

As expected, it was only minutes after they reached the seashore that one of the other students noticed that
Kako was gone.

Quarta knew where he was. She saw him sneak off to watch
some of the animals on the sand.

“He stopped by the big beach,” Quarta told the teacher. “I’ll
go back and find him.” She hurried off to collect him.

The teacher asked two other students to follow her, to make
sure she didn't also get lost or in trouble.

As expected, Kako was trapped in a tidal pool.

Quarta saw this and, wanting to be helpful, climbed up the edge of the rock (using just two legs and two
arms! Can you imagine?) and reached down to grab Kako. If you are expecting that she was also pulled into
the tidal pool, you can relax. She was able to save Kako and he climbed back over the rocks to safety.

Quarta was happy, since she rescued another student! She, the girl with only two arms and two legs, had
rescued someone with all four arms and legs!
