Kayiwa and the Wobbly Wheels

On a shimmering, sunny beach in Australia, lived a kind girl named Kayiwa. She loved the feel of warm sand between her toes and the salty smell of the ocean breeze. Every morning, she'd help her little brother, Jett, build the most magnificent sandcastles, decorated with shiny shells and smooth, colourful pebbles they'd found.

Kayiwa always made sure Jett had the biggest scoop of ice cream and the best spot to dig for treasures. She loved looking after her friends and family, making sure everyone was happy and included. Her smile was as bright as the morning sun reflecting on the water.

One day, while searching for a special purple shell for Jett’s sandcastle, Kayiwa spotted a small group of kids a little further down the beach. They weren't building sandcastles. Instead, they were surrounded by all sorts of strange bits and bobs – wires, bottle tops, wooden sticks, and tiny, colourful gears. They were trying to build something that looked like a wobbly-wheeled robot!

Jett, who loved anything with wheels, gasped. "Oh, Kayiwa! Look! They're making a robot! Can we join?" Kayiwa saw the complex pieces and wires, and they looked very tricky. A little frown creased her forehead, but she knew Jett really wanted to try. Looking after Jett meant being brave, even if the robot-building looked like a puzzle only grown-ups could solve.

Kayiwa and Jett walked over. A friendly boy with a big smile, named Finn, explained, "We’re building beach bots! But our wheels keep wobbling off!" Kayiwa tried to help, carefully pushing a tiny plastic wheel onto a stick. *Click!* It didn't quite fit, and the wheel still spun crookedly. She tried another one, and it snapped right off! It seemed too hard, and Kayiwa felt a tiny bit frustrated.

"It's okay, Kayiwa," Finn said kindly. "See, the secret is finding the right-sized hole for the stick. Sometimes you need to twist it gently, like this!" He took a wheel and showed Kayiwa, slowly turning it until it clicked into place perfectly, holding firm. He made it look so simple, just by doing it!

Kayiwa's eyes lit up. She understood! It wasn't about pushing hard; it was about twisting and finding the right fit. She found another wobbly wheel and, with a gentle twist, *click-clack!* It slid onto the stick, strong and straight! Jett clapped his hands with glee. Kayiwa felt a warm buzz of success!

Soon, Kayiwa, Jett, and Finn were all laughing, building the wobbliest, but best, little beach bot ever! Kayiwa made sure Jett could attach his own wheels, guiding his tiny fingers with a patient smile. The sun shone brighter, and the ocean seemed to cheer them on. They learned that even the trickiest things become easy when you try them with your hands and a little help from friends.
