Maisie Mouse is a mermaid. She lives in a calm ocean. She has a tiny tail and soft fins. She loves to play. She loves to laugh. She swims with fish. She sings a sweet song. Her song is soft. Her song is bright. She has a small pink shell. She feels happy in the sea. She loves her home. One day, Maisie Mouse met Swan. Swan is a kind friend. Swan is a bird in water. Swan has white feathers. Swan has a long neck. Swan likes to swim. Swan likes to talk. Swan plays games. Swan makes Maisie smile. They laugh and splash. Maisie Mouse had a red seashell. She wore it on her tail. The shell was shiny. One night, the shell was gone. Maisie felt sad. She looked here. She looked there. She felt lost. She cried a little. Swan saw her cry. Maisie Mouse and Swan look for the shell. They swim under waves. They swim over sand. They swim near coral. They ask a small fish. The fish says no. They ask a blue crab. The crab says no. They ask a starfish. The starfish says no. They feel tired. They feel sad. Then Toy appears. Toy is a small toy boat. Toy floats on the waves. Toy has bright paint. Toy has a secret. Toy kept the shell. Toy laughs softly. Toy hides behind seaweed. Toy moves away. Maisie wants the shell. Maisie spots Toy. She points her tail. She swims fast. Swan flies low. They follow Toy. Toy glides quick. Toy turns. Toy dives under rock. Maisie is brave. Swan is brave. They find a dark cave. They hold fins and wing. They go in. It is quiet. They see glow light. They see the shell in light. The shell is in a small nest. Toy sits by it. Maisie says stop. Toy stops. Maisie asks, “Please give my shell.” Swan nods. Toy looks sad. Toy says, “I took it by mistake.” Swan smiles. Maisie is kind. Maisie says, “Let us share.” Toy smiles. Toy gives the shell. Maisie feels joy. Swan claps wings. The shell shines bright. They hug Toy. They hug each other. They laugh together. They leave the cave. They swim home. They feel happy. Back home, the shell is safe. Maisie wears it again. Swan sits by her. They watch the sun. They sing a song. They laugh and play. The ocean feels warm. They feel love. They sleep side by side. They dream of new fun. They feel hope. They feel safe. They feel proud.
