One day, I went to the beach 🏝️. I sat down, having nothing to do. I was very bored. Until, I saw a mermaid swim by.

I quickly ran and waded through the ocean 🌊, to see and be with her. When she saw me, she gasped. And swam away quickly. I told her, “don’t be afraid of me. I won’t hurt you. I just want to be your friend.” She stayed still for a while and stared at me. Finally, she believed me, so we began to swim.

“What’s your name?” The mermaid asked me. “Isla, and yours?” “Mikayla, and what a beautiful name you have!” She said. “Thank you! And yours to Mikayla!” I said. “Isla, do you want to play ocean tag?” Mikayla asked. “Yes!” I answered. We played ocean tag for a long time .
