Once there was a brave girl who loved to pretend. She would imagine she was a pirate captain exploring the seven seas, or a daring explorer on a jungle adventure.
Her very favorite game to pretend was that she was a brave shark. She would swim around pretending she was a brave shark searching for a tasty snack. She would find all kinds of fun things to pretend while she was exploring under the sea.
One day while swimming, she came upon a whale. She pretended the whale was a giant sea monster and she bravely confronted it. She pretended to take a bite out of the whale, just like real sharks do. The whale was so impressed with her bravery that he gave her a special prize. It was a sparkling pearl which she proudly wore around her neck.
From that day forward, the brave girl would often pretend that she was a brave shark. She would wear her pearl proudly and swim around looking for funny things to pretend. Everyone knew that she was the bravest pretend shark they had ever seen!
