May 8th
As I approached Sicily I smelled smoke. Not just any kind of smoke but smoke from a volcano! It was
very active. Suddenly a big boulder fell into the sea. It almost hit me. Then an even bigger one
almost hit me again. I swam along fast as an even bigger boulder flew towards me. It hit me!
Almost!
I thought the volcano was going to erupt very soon. So I swam away.
June 22nd
I swam to the Skeleton Coat in Namibia. I went into a shipwreck. Suddenly my stomach rumbled. I
thought I should eat. Luckily there were loads of fish. So I swam around rounding up all the fish.
Eventually I had eaten five butterfly fish, eleven crabs, one squid, three tortoises, and twenty
jellyfish. I was stuffed. Just then came a great white shark so I swam away.
July 8th
I swam to Australia and saw a boat of whale watchers. I wanted them to see me so I flicked my tail
up in the air. I thought I should do human watching. I saw humans surfing. I enjoyed watching
them. Just then a woman fell off her board. So I went to save her. I put her on my back and put her
back on her board and swam away before someone harmed me.
August 4th
I swam to Antarctica. I saw a ship of scientists, one looked at me. I looked at him. He said ‘there’s a
whale.’ I swam away worried that he might do something to me. I thought I should have some fun
so I swam with my cousin the blue whale. We popped our heads up and frightened the penguins.
We swam under icebergs.
Later I saw the ship of scientists stuck in the icebergs. So I popped my head up and pushed the ship
out. But I swam away before the scientist from a few hours ago came back.
September 16th
On the way home I saw underwater volcanoes. I thought it was very odd. But then I remembered
from my atlas that Hawaii is a state of America in the Pacific Ocean. It is a group of island that are
the tops of underwater volcanoes.
Later that day I saw giant redwood trees. They were huge, but I was even bigger!
