It was a warm and sunny afternoon, when Shaira was happily splashing her tail in the ocean waters
with her best friends, Aisha and Kasia. For hours they would play their favorite game where the mermaid
leaping the highest over the other would become 'Sea Princess of the Day. Giggling and laughing so
hard that her tummy hurt Shaira decided to let Aisha win today as she always felt that it was more fun
to see her friends win. Shaira's smile was wider than the horizon in the sky and her heart was bigger than
the towering mountains above which seemed to touch the very sky. Her eyes were brighter than the
bluest of waters she knew as her home. Her golden hair cascaded like a fresh waterfall down her back to
her waist. From here on, Shaira had the slender tail of a fish which helped her swim faster and jump
higher than any other human fish in the sea
