😲 I found something strange on the beach, and when I discovered what it was, I was truly amazed.

My grandmother lives in Normandy, near the sea. I love visiting her and spending time with her, wandering along the beach. What I especially enjoy are the evenings by the sea, with the sound of the waves and the fresh air 🌅.

The last time I went there, I found something very interesting on the beach. My grandmother didn’t know what it was 🤔. But she told me about a very smart neighbor. So, I thought he would surely know what it was.

I picked up this strange thing and showed it to him. When he revealed what it was, I didn’t expect that answer at all 😯. I was really impressed.

And you, have you ever found something strange on the beach?

If not, or if you don’t know what it is, I’ll explain everything in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.

One morning, as I walked barefoot on the still-cool beach, I found this strange creature.

It looked like a living pebble, covered in small bumps, like a cushion woven from marine secrets.

Curious, I picked it up gently and showed it to my grandmother’s neighbor, an old man who knows the sea better than anyone.

His eyes lit up as soon as he saw it.

“Ah, that’s a cushion star!” he explained, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

“We call them that because they’re plump, almost round, and they live where sand and rocks meet underwater.”

He told me that they move slowly, filtering the sediment to find their food, and that they’re rarely seen so close to the shore.

I was fascinated by the rough texture of its skin and its mysterious patterns, almost like a starry sky trapped beneath its shell.

Before leaving, I returned it to the sea, where it belongs.

As I watched it disappear beneath the waves, I felt a secret connection to that underwater world we often forget about… and a great sense of gratitude for having crossed its path.
