On a warm morning, Mark and his family went out sailing in the sea. Mark and his sister, Molly, quickly jumped into the blue waters and swam happily. Mark was a very good swimmer. He could dive very well too.
While Mark was swimming, he noticed something glittering from the bottom of the sea. He quickly dived towards the glittery light. He dived deeper to the bottom of the sea.
Realising that her brother was diving for too long, Molly shouted, “Mark! Mark! Can you hear me? Where are you?”
But, there was no sign from Mark. Molly quickly swam to the seaside for help.
“Mum! Dad! Mark went missing in the sea!” cried Molly with a burst of tears.
“What happened, Molly?” asked dad anxiously.
“I saw Mark diving into the sea, but I couldn’t see him anymore,” Molly cried.
In the meantime, Mark finally reached the glittery spot. “Wow! It’s a rare shiny white sea pearl,” Mark thought to himself. The size of the pearl was as big as a small rubber ball. Very quickly, Mark picked it up with his hand.
While Mark was swimming up the surface of the sea, he saw a shark coming towards him. He was very scared and didn’t know what to do. He tried his best to swim as fast as he could.
Suddenly, four dolphins were encircling him. The dolphins were making noises to distract the shark. They were protecting Mark.
The shark left. The dolphins then helped Mark to get back to the shore. ‘’Dolphins, thank you for saving my life,” shouted Mark while waving goodbye to them.
When Molly, and Mark’s parents were getting ready with a team of lifeguards, Mark saw them.
“Mum, Dad, Molly! I am here!” They were so relieved to see Mark safe and sound.
Mark explained what happened. They planned to sell the rare pearl to support the ‘Save Our Dolphin’ campaign.
“Dolphins are our best friends!’ Molly shouted.
‘’I agree!’’ Mark replied.
Do you agree?
