Faye Searches for the Pearl
Faye the mermaid lost her pearl necklace in the deep. Her fishy friends join the search!
Every morning, Faye the mermaid wore her beautiful pearl necklace. Her grandmother had made it for her. It shimmered like a tiny moon. But one morning, it was gone!
Faye searched her room. She searched her garden. She looked under the sea cucumbers and behind the sea urchins. Nothing! ‘It’s lost,’ she sighed. A tear drifted up as a bubble.
Jack the fish bobbed over. ‘Don’t be sad,’ said Jack. ‘We’ll help you look.’ And so Jamal the jellyfish joined them, and the three set off to search.
They swam to the coral reef and looked in every nook. They swam over the sandy bed and sifted through every shell. They searched for a long, long time, until the water turned dark green.
‘Wait,’ said Jamal. ‘Look over there!’ A tiny gleam peeked out from inside a rusty treasure chest. It was the pearl! Faye reached down very carefully and scooped it up. ‘My necklace!’ she cried.
Faye clasped the necklace around her neck. She hugged Jack and Jamal tightly. ‘Thank you. I don’t know what I’d do without you.’ ‘That’s what friends are for,’ said Jack.
That evening, Faye threw a party. There was seaweed pie and bubble pop. And in the middle of it all, her pearl glowed bright, reminding her of her grandmother, and of the friends who had helped her.
