Allow your disappointment to form a pearl just as an oyster does when an irritating grain of sand gets inside its shell, but grab the pearl before the sand gets in your eyes.

把你的失望孕育成一枚珍珠，就像牡蛎对待一颗落入壳中的沙砾一样，但要在沙砾进入你的眼睛前抓紧珍珠。

The shell is on the sand.

贝壳放在沙子上面。

Sand. Waves. Boat. Fish. Crab. Shell. Octopus. Starfish. Whale. The sea.

沙子、海浪、小船、鱼、螃蟹、贝壳、章鱼、海星、鲸鱼。大海。

The red dirt gave way to smooth, egg-shell-white sand.

FORBES: Life

Continuing the theme of found food, a soft-shell crab is presented as an edible beach treasure, surrounded by amaranth grains for sand and brown-butter sauce for seawater.
