The story takes place at the seashore. This being Sam's first day at the beach, he naturally has many questions. But Stella is prepared, for "Stella had seen the sea once, before Sam was born. She knew all its secrets." Stella proves to be a wonderful guide as she explains to Sam that "Starfish are shooting stars that fell in love with the sea", that moon shells come from the moon, and that angel wings (naturally) come from angels. She assures cautious Sam that there are no monsters in the water today, and that the only shark that she's ever seen was a "little one...with an eyepatch." With enviable patience and attentiveness, Stella listens and responds to each and every query. The only question Stella asks Sam in return is when on earth is he ever going to get into the water?
