New Friends

I was standing on the boardwalk this morning. I was looking down at the ocean when a whale came out of the water. It winked at me.

The whale said, “Would you like to come in and play?”

I said, “Well, I’m a little scared of sharks.”

The whale said, “Wait here.” It went under water and a minute later surfaced with 12 sharks. I was scared. The whale said, “These are my friends, they won’t hurt you.”

One of the sharks, a particularly big great white said, “Come on in, we promise to not eat you.”

I could tell the shark was sincere. I jumped in.

We played for a couple of hours. I took turns riding the different sharks backs. I rode the whale too, but it was hard because it didn’t have a fin to hold onto.
