One day, a little girl named Sue went to the beach with her mom. They saw the big blue sea and the amazing waves. Sue was very happy. She wanted to play in the water and wash her hands and feet in the waves. "Mom, can I go play in the water?" Sue asked. Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful."
Sue ran to the water and started to wash her hands in the waves. She saw a small fish in the water. The fish was very friendly. It said, "Hi, Sue! Do you want to play with me?" Sue was surprised! She did not know that fish could talk.
Sue and the fish played in the water all day. They had so much fun. Then, something unexpected happened. The friendly fish turned into a beautiful mermaid! The mermaid said, "Thank you for playing with me, Sue. I was under a spell, and your kindness broke it." Sue and the mermaid became best friends, and they played at the beach every day.
