Hi! I am Clarisse and I live with my mum. My dad went to war and didn't come back. I was sad. Years passed and I am now in Year 3. One day my Mum and I went for a picnic and sat in a nearby lake. We talked about my dad and when they met. We saw little fish in the lake. As we were finish my mum started packing up.

I stayed there for a while and watched the fishes swimming around. I love fishes because they always remind of my dad and they are nice and gentle. One day when i was sitting in a lake reading a book about fish. A pink fish came out and came to me and said “Will you trust me?” And i said “Yes!” I was shocked because i didn't know that fishes can swim really really fast and they can talk. Then she said “close your eyes and count to 3.”

So I closed my eyes and counted... 1.... 2.... 3.... I was in a underwater city. I was confused and wondered. “Why did the pink fish brought me here?”. Then I saw a fish which is a king and he is surrounded by guards. “I need your help!!! My friends got stuck in a net and we can't get him out.” Then I said “I can help you but after i have help you, You need to take me back.” The king agreed.

So I tried my best to untangle every fish. Then the pink fish said “Close your eyes and count to 3” So, i closed my eyes and counted... 1.... 2.... 3.... I was back where I was before and went back home and told my mum about everything what happened.

THE END
