The Deep

" Yes! We're finally here " Yelled Daniel, as he gazed upon the glimmering ocean and the bright yellow sand.  

"Bye Mum, I'm going to change into my swimming togs and get my raft" 

" Wait for us" shouted his Mum but before she knew it, Daniel was already in the ocean.

Daniel always loved the water. He felt in his element. It was also the perfect way to complete his mission. His friends told him about the monster of the sea, often found down deep. He claimed to them he'd be able to track it down and kill it but they wouldn't believe him. This was his chance. He set his raft and sailed out. Calmly, he rowed his raft through the ocean. Honestly, he was getting bored. It had been 10 minutes and his parents would be wondering where he drifted off to. Suddenly, he heard a small noise. Something was lurking beneath him.
" YES! finally " screamed Daniel in joy. Quickly, he put on his snorkeler and dove in. He'd never been this far into the ocean. Swimming a little deeper he found it. It was gigantic, scary, unbelievable and too hard to explain. It looked like it noticed Daniel but for some reason it didn't gobble him up. He wondered why. Daniel came a bit closer.
Nothing happened.
It looked a bit sad but he couldn't tell.
He remembered his mission but just felt sad now. Why would he kill a creature that wasn't a threat to him. But there was one thing he wanted to do. Slowly, he swam towards the creature. Gently, he patted it. It was soft and cool but no one would believe him. Then he swam back to his raft. Once he got back to the shore his parents quickly came and looked worried.
" Where'd you swim off to and what took you so long " Daniel's parents questioned.
Daniel answered "It's a long story"
