Here are two simple ways to say that sentence:

  1. The ray snuggled into the sand, with only its eyes peeking out to look at the ocean.
  2. The ray hid in the sand, and just its eyes stuck up to watch the sea.

Why these work (simple steps):

  • We use easy words like "snuggled," "hid," and "peek/peeking" so a 6-year-old can understand.
  • Both lines keep the same picture: the ray is mostly under the sand and only its eyes are showing to look at the water.
