The Little Girl And The Sea Written and Il ustrated by Adam David
There once was a small town by the sea. The town loved the ocean, gaining almost everything they needed from it. Everyone ate fish and crab and seaweed and shrimp. Everyone.......
EXCEPT EILEEN
Eileen hated crab! She hated fish as well. She could not stand seaweed and she most certainly, absolutely positively HATED shrimp!! The smell of it made her sick. The sight of it made her angry. And the taste of it made her vomit.
One day Eileen’s family took her to the beach. Furious, she swam deep into the water to find a fish to vent her anger, but she didn’t realize she was drifting off into a current.
When she turned around it was already too late. Her floaties were no good anymore. There was nothing she could do, she was going down.
She closed her eyes and expected the worst...
And when she opened her eyes she could not believe what she saw.
All of the sudden, a school of fish surrounded Eileen...and turned her into a mermaid!

She swam deep into the ocean, and for a while it seemed as if she was all alone.
Until she came face to face with a blue whale!
Then Eileen ventured further into the depths of the ocean, and swam right by a giant squid! It was so dark she felt like she was in space! Eileen didn’t like this place, so she went back to the surface as quick as she could.
The ocean was huge, but Eileen knew exactly how to get back home. She heard a voice caller her from a far away place and let it guide her back from where she came.
When she surfaced, Eileen could here her family calling her name. It was time to leave. She looked down at her tail, but it had already turned back to her legs. She swam back to shore, and kept the whole thing a big secret. She couldn’t wait for her next trilp to the sea.
