En la playa (Pepe en Inglaterra)

by Gordon Reece

Pepe and the Parker family are going to spend a day at the beach. Pepe can't believe his eyes—the Parkers go swimming despite the freezing cold and then drink tea from a thermos to warm-up. Luckily, they soon go to an amusement park instead and then to the pier to go fishing. There, Pepe has a great adventure as he cleverly stops a thief.   Pepe y la familia Parker van a pasar el día en la playa. Pepe no sale de su asombro—los Parker se bañan aunque hace un frío que pela y luego beben de un termo de té para calentarse. Por suerte, pronto se van a un parque de atracciones y luego al muelle a pescar. Allí, Pepe vive una aventura increíble cuando ingeniosamente logra detener a un ladrón.
