I definitely am. 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 3: Let's go. 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day deep down in the ocean. 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: The water was crystal clear, and there was a mermaid 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: named Layla swimming around looking for a new adventure. Today's 14 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: just gonna be the best day ever. I'm gonna find 15 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: something new to do. And hmm, maybe it's that way 16 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: or this way, or maybe I'll go over to the 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: rocky cliff. Yeah, that's where some awesome adventures. Lie She 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: loved swimming over to that rocky cliff off the coral reef. 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: You see that rocky cliff went all the way up 20 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: to the surface of the water. Yeah, you know, on 21 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: the other side where there was air and birds. Oh, 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: birds were the worst of them all. Oftentimes, when mermaids 23 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: would swim up to the surface of the water. Right, 24 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: birds might drop something right on their head that was 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: really stinky, if you know what I mean. But also 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: at the surface of the water that just led so many, 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: so many mysteries were there that mermaids loved to investigate 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: and just imagine what might be out there. Well, as 29 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: Laylah swam over to this rocky cliff, she climbed up 30 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: her way all the way to the surface of the water. 31 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: Ah ah, The seagulls flew overhead, and she was very 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: nervous that they might pull one of their stinky tricks. 33 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: But then something caught her eye. You see the cliff 34 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: that went all the way down into the water. It 35 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: went all the way up to the sky, almost to 36 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: the clouds even but something looked like it had just 37 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: fallen off the cliff. It was very, very shiny. Laylah 38 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: watched as it splashed down into the ocean. I've got 39 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: to see what that is. That was the shiniest rock 40 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, said Layla. She dove back into the 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: water and swam with her tail as fast as she could. 42 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a mermaid tails swim in the water? 43 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Who they are some mighty fast swimmers and her tail 44 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: was bright pink and with teal spots on it. It 45 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: was also very sparkly in the sunlight of the water. 46 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Up ahead, she could see that very shiny and sparkly 47 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: thing that had fallen off from the cliff up above. 48 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: She watched as it splashed down into the sand on 49 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: the ocean floor. As it landed on the bottom, there 50 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: was a big spooche of sand that was all around it. 51 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: As she swam her way down there, she couldn't believe it. 52 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: This was the most sparkly, shiny thing she had ever seen. 53 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: Laylah reached down to pick it up, and oh dear, 54 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: something horrible was about to happen. Wow, this is beautiful. 55 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: I've gotta show everybody. Oh, I'm gonna put it in 56 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: my pocket and swim back to town. Everyone has got 57 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: to see this amazing thing I've just found. As she 58 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: swam back to her town with all of her friends 59 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: that were all swimming around the coral reef having lunch, 60 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: she shouted out to them, Hey, friends, guess what I 61 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: balanced the shiniest rock I've ever seen? But nobody heard her. Hello, 62 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: look at this. She held it up over her head, 63 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: but nobody saw her. It was at that moment that 64 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: she happened to look down in her hand. 65 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: Where did my hand go? 66 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: Said, Leyla, I can't see anything. It's it's like my 67 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: hand is Oh dear, my whole body. What's going on? 68 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Layla began to panic. But it was at that moment 69 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: that she remembered that shiny stone. It must be that 70 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: shiny stone that this to me. I gotta get rid 71 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: of it. She swam back to this place where she 72 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: had picked up that shiny stone that had fallen down 73 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: from the cliff. She laid it back in the sand. Okay, 74 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: har my color's gonna come back.

Did I just turn invisible forever? Oh dear. 78 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Layla passed out, and as she 79 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: passed out, she floated up all the way to the 80 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: top of the surface of the water. As she woke 81 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: up and found herself floating at the top of the ocean, 82 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: she heard a voice. 83 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: Oh, nor her, I'm gonna blown up on this trouble 84 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: ever rattled my magic or colorstone. 85 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Girl, magical colorstone. 86 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: Lailah thought to herself, huh, hello, who's there? 87 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: And round laurl and girls hurdler.
