Me too, let's go!

It was a beautiful day deep in the ocean as Josie the Mermaid was swimming around with all of her friends.

They were playing a game of kind of like hide-and-seek tag, but underwater.

They could play that game because they could breathe underwater, which I don't think I would be

very good at hiding underwater for obvious reasons.

Well, Josie was really good and she was hiding and having a ton of fun but something terrible was about to happen.

Okay, I have got to find a new place to hide where no one has ever hid before.

After you play hide and seek for a long time,

it seems like you run out of places to hide because everyone's picked the good ones, right?

Yeah, that's what Josie was thinking about and she was trying to figure out a new place where she could hide.

Wait a second, nobody's hid over there on the other side of the breakers.

Hold on Josie, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't think you should go over there.

Do you know what breakers are or breaker waves? Yeah, those are those big waves that you can see

crash down in the ocean and sometimes like surfers go on those waves. Yeah, well

to be over there, that is a pretty dangerous area to swim around
