“ Watch out, I’m going to jump!” I yelled seconds before I jumped. “ AHH!” I yelled mid-air.

Splash!

I dived in the water and I couldn't believe what I saw… A precious, golden, shiny underwater village. Kelp was used as a Christmas tinsel, clams as ornaments and coral as flowers and statues. And guess what I saw…? A golden throne with diamonds, ruby’s, sapphires and opals.


Someone was sitting on the throne and they gave me a short letter. It said that I had been given a very important mission to find someone called Queen Bee. She had been lost and we needed to find her ASAP. As my mission began I was feeling confident. I looked up and down the houses and streets, in the parks and in the playgrounds and everywhere you could think of. She was nowhere to be seen. It took me 6 long days and 6 long nights to find Queen Bee. I started to loose a little hope in the mission.but after a couple of days I heard a noise of wrappers on the second floor of the house I was in. I could see Queen Bee! She was sneaking my favorite chocolates in her handbag. “ Found you! “ I called in happiness and joy.


As I brought her over to the Town Mayor he tanked me for my hard work. I swam back to shore feeling so refreshed and glad I had completed my first ever mission. I was proud and very excited to tell everyone!
