Welcome back friends to Short Stories for Kids. Once upon a time there were two mermaids Francesca and Brianna. Like most mermaids, they loved the ocean and all things that lived within it. But there was something else that they love too. Pizza. Now, Pizza and the ocean don't go well together. As both

Francesca and Brianna had found out, Pizza gets very soggy, very quickly when underwater.

2:06.0

2:10.0

It's all the way over on the other side of the ocean,

2:12.0

in a place called Italy, the home of the pizza.
