The whale adventure

By Michael Qi

We were canoeing across the inlet when we noticed some unusual movement alongside the boat. A whale was surfacing next to us. Another one followed closely behind. Suddenly, our boat was being lifted out of the water. It was a whale! Which, in fact, I’ve never seen one before. It was steering us left, and right, up and down, and in all different directions, until the boat flipped over! Fortunately, we brought our life jackets and we knew how to swim. The whales offered us a ride on the back. When we said “Yes”, and when we got on the whale, another whale came to the surface, and broke our boat. 

My dad was upset, but he knew that the whales were much faster. The whales also offered us a cute little baby whale. “It’s so adorable!” I said. Dad was proud. He knew that a cute pet whale is cooler than a new wooden boat that gives you splinters. They also offered us a submarine, some seaweed, and 2 little fishes. We had so much fun! We did countless activities with the whales. First, we used our submarine to look at cool fish, then we went riding on the whales, then we got some berries and fish for the whales, after we went fishing, and after that, we went looking for stuff in the ocean.

We also saw a fox! Two things that I’ve never seen before and now I have. Wow! Today is my lucky day! The whales showed us their friends. Some of their friends were Squid, Dolphin, Narwhal, Turtle, Pufferfish, Shark, and lots more! This is one lucky day! I’ve never seen any of these animals, because I don’t go in water so much. But now, there’s no animal to be scared of. Even the shark! Well, the shark was double as nice! The other animals said they would be their friend for 2 reasons. One, it’s their first time seeing a human, and two they wanted me to show them the “Out of land part” like, you know, land.

I was still amazed, because I could breathe underwater for this whole time! Also, how was it still day?! I checked an underwater clock and it said “8:14 P.M.” I was a bit confused. But soon I started to get it. I was underwater, in a room full of fake sunlight and other stuff. In the room, there was no water. This was the ocean animal’s secret human room. They said that if they found some humans, they would put them in the secret room. Dad had a BIG room. There were a lot of photos of sea animals. But when it was 12:03 A.M. , we had to leave, we thanked the sea animals and went home. Yesterday was a very interesting day. I hoped that today would be as interesting as yesterday. But then I had FORGOT! The cute baby whale! Fortunately, it was in Dad’s big container. Yesterday was the best day ever. We hoped that any day would at least be as good as yesterday, or better.
