Splash!  Boom!  “Mom, what is that red and purple spot on the rocks?”  I don’t see anything she said.  I wanted a closer look.  So I got the stuff I needed and went deeper and deeper.  I looked under.  There was a huge fishtail.  I looked on top of the water.  There was a person face.  I said “Hi, don’t be afraid”, but she swam away!

It was a perfect day at the beach and just then I saw something in the water.  What was it?  It had a really big tail.  It was splashing in the water.  I wanted to go see what it was but it was too far out.

Boom!  A big splash on the sea bank.  Am I seeing thins?  A green tail…it’s staying over there.  It’s gone!  Where is it?  There it is.  I swam to it.  It was a mermaid.

It was a perfect day to go to the beach.  When we got there I saw a mermaid.  I was bored so we went to the big waves to find hermit crabs.  Then we did not want to find hermit crabs so we did flips.

Thud!  A wave hit me hard but the wave was too big to be natural.  From the corner of my eye I saw what looked like a tail splashing in and out of the water.  Am I seeing things?

I was bored walking on the beach one day when I saw a strange sight!  I got closer and closer.  I trhought it was a mermaid but I saw a fish.  It's a mermaid.  It's a mermaid! 

Splash!  What is that I said to myself?  It was a big thing, but I could not see it.  It came closer.  I got scared.  Then it was right in front of me.  It turned out it was a mermaid.

I couldn't believe it!  With one flick of a tail it dove into the water.  It was a beautiful mermaid, nobody would believe this.  I tried to swim up to it but it just swam away where it was too deep for me to swim.  I went all the way back to the shore to get my float.
