Oops, I did it again!
When I was at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center getting well, I had many people come to see me. The day I left, there were more people visiting. Well, yesterday I was swimming around some people who were cleaning up the reef, and today, I saw even more people here! I popped my head out of the water and people on the beach were picking up trash, too.
Did I do that? I think because the underwater people saw me yesterday, they told their friends about me, and today everybody showed up. It feels good to be helping. Maybe you can help, too. Next time you go to the beach or a park, take a paper garbage bag and help pick up trash.
Oh, I almost forgot: I made a new friend. His name is Alex, and he’s a stingray. He was caught in a plastic bag, and the underwater people were able to help him. We’ve become fast friends. He’s funny because he’s not afraid of anything. He’s smart, too. He knew where we were. He said the place where we are is called the Bahamas. It’s a funny word. When he said it, I laughed and said “Bahama, Bahama, Bahama.” Try it, and see if it makes you laugh.
Tomorrow, we are going to the other side of the reef. I like making new friends.
