Under the sea
II Have you ever gone underwater? You haven't? Let me tell you about my
experience!
It was a bright and sunny morning and my parents had planned a scuba diving trip!
We started packing and it was exciting. Father took us to the Maldives to enjoy this
B adventure. We reached the beach and got all the scuba diving gear ready. We had
dived in and it was an enchanting sight. As we went deeper it looked darker but
pretty. We did not get to see any fish though, but soon we got deep enough and
saw many fishes. Then we saw sting rays, needle fish and sharks. There were all
kinds of exciting sea creatures. We started seeing whales, orcas and humpback
whales and beluga whales too. Only then did I realise how big they were. Suddenly,
we saw a big blue whale chasing a pack of Krill fish. It was tough holding our breath INQUIRING ABOUT THE PHASES OF THE MOON
underwater, more so because of the heavy gear, but it was a lot of fun. We all wore
goggles to prevent our eyes from burning. I had a waterproof camera and so I took lovely pictures of the flora and fauna. I didn't realise I had spent
so much time underwater because I was lost in the beauty of the sea world.
Maldives is a dream world for anyone who loves the sun, sand and sea. I am so lucky to be taken by my parents to a place which offered me such a
unique underwater experience.

Why I am the best elf to wrap the
Christmas presents?
I believe I would be the best elf, the elf that no elf has ever been. First, I am very helpful,
but not too naughty. Secondly, I am as quick as lightning in doing my work and I follow
instructions well. So, I will deliver at the right time to the correct person. Also, I know
what kids like because I am a kid, so I can help you select the gifts and I am sincere.
Another reason is that you don't need to feed me too much as I am never hungry. Now
will you hire me as your elf, Santa?
