My favourite season is summer, because I get to go to the beach. At the beach before I go into the water I like to feel the sand in between my toes, it feels funny. When I enter the water my feet turn into a beautiful scaley tail. I pretend sometimes that I am a mermaid or a fish when I swim in the beach.I pretend that i am a fish swimming between the rocks and the seaweed.
I get really sad when people throw rubbish in the sea because when I pretend to be a fish I imagine what it would feel like to be tangled in the rubbish and I cant be free.
