Mr Hasbean at the Seaside

No sooner had Mr Hasbean stepped off the coach than he feel foul of all hazards of the seaside. First his best hat was blown away by gale force sea breeze. Then, within seconds of reaching the promenade, his bald head was splattered by a low-flying seagull. "Oh no, a souvenir from Scarborough already," he sighed.  When he tried to walk along the beach his shoes were soaked through by the sneakiest of waves. When he tried to eat candyfloss his face became coated with sticky pink goo.  Even worse, when he tried to buy himself a sixpenny donkey ride he was berated by the donkey man, and laughed at most cruelly by most of the people on the beach.  Some nasty children even kicked sand at him.  As he turned away in shame, he was hit sharply on the back of the head by a flying hat.
