Khya is a little mermaid.
She lives in a coral reef.
The reef is bright and kind.
Fish swim all around Khya.
She waves her small blue tail.
Khya loves to collect shiny shells.
One shell is her special shell.
The shell is pink and smooth.
Khya holds it close to heart.
One morning Khya wakes up happy.
She wants to play with shell.
She glides through blue water.
She sings a soft mermaid song.
She finds her shell on sand.
She smiles wide and bright.
She twirls shell with her fins.
Suddenly the shell slips away.
Oh no the shell falls down.
The shell rolls on the sand.
It slides behind a rock.
Khya swims fast behind rock.
She reaches and finds no shell.
She begins to feel a little sad.
A gentle voice floats near her.
A kind princess swims in.
She wears a shiny shell crown.
She smiles and greets Khya softly.
Hello says the princess with warmth.
I can help you find shell.
Khya nods and claps her hands.
They look under red coral.
They look behind a big rock.
They look under waving sea grass.
They look among tiny sea stars.
They look near the smiling clownfish.
They look by a glowing pearl.
No shell is found yet there.
Khya feels a little tear.
Suddenly a bright light appears.
It is the Crystal Guardian fish.
The Guardian has sparkling scales.
Scales glint soft rainbow light.
Khya and princess watch in awe.
The Guardian looks serious at first.
But it is gentle at heart.
It senses Khya’s loving heart.
It wants to help her now.
The Guardian swims in circles slowly.
It shines light near a rock.
The beam shows a small shape.
Oh look it is the lost shell.
The shell is wedged in crack.
Khya tries to pull shell gently.
Her tail pushes on the rock.
The princess holds Khya safe side.
The Guardian glows to heal crack.
The rock splits with soft glow.
The shell slides free at last.
Khya picks up shell with joy.
She holds it close to heart.
Her eyes shine with happy tears.
The princess smiles and claps fins.
The Guardian nods and floats away.
Khya thanks her new friends kindly.
She invites them to a small feast.
They taste seaweed cake and berries.
Khya shares stories of the reef.
They giggle and clap in joy.
Bubbles dance in the warm water.
Colorful fish join the small dance.
Khya feels happy and safe now.
She hugs her special shell tight.
The princess waves goodbye gently.
The Guardian glimmers and swims away.
Khya watches friends fade in mist.
She treasures the day in heart.
She sings a soft mermaid song.
She drifts to sleep on sand.
She dreams of coral and friends.
Tomorrow she will play again.
