Finding Land People, Underwater
I swam toward the coast. I knew what I had to do: I had to find land people and get them to follow me back to the barrels so they could help. It was a great plan. The only problem was, I didn’t know where to find land people. I’d come across land people underwater before, and they seemed to like to watch me swim. How would I find them now?
I swam towards a coral reef. It was full of colorful fish of all types and sizes. I just love reefs. To me, there is nothing more beautiful. “Excuse me,” I said to a angelfish.
“Yes?” she replied. She was very pretty. Her yellow color was bright against the blue background of the water.
“Hi, my name is Eartha, and I need to find land people so I can get them to clean up this mess we found along the bottom that made Clyde sick.” I didn’t realize it then, but I was speaking very fast and didn’t even stop to breathe.
“Um,” muttered the angelfish. “What?” She was definitely confused.
I stopped, took a deep breath, and tried again. “I need to find land people who swim underwater.”
“Oh,” said the angelfish, realizing what I was talking about. “You want to find divers,” she said.
I didn’t know what that meant. “What are divers?” I asked.
“Divers are land people who swim underwater,” she explained.
“Yes!” I was excited now. “That’s exactly what I need! Divers!”
“Then come with me,” she said. “I think I know where you can find some.”
