However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

Hey everyone and welcome back to Short Stories for Kids, the Magical

0:06.8

Podcast of Story Adventures.

0:10.8

And now it's time for a story request.

0:17.0

Hi Lucy, my name is Elsie. I love a story about a mermaid named Anica who meets a mermini named coral.

0:27.0

Together they must save the ocean from an oil spill monster who teams up with a sea witch. The ocean is a very big place. Not only is it very wide, but it's very deep too and home to all sorts of life.

0:59.7

As humans, it's not easy for us to see that life. We just catch glimpses when we travel on boats

or planes or even submarines. What we see is just a tiny, tiny part of what's out there. To really be able to see it and appreciate

2:06.2

sea bird in distress. It was on the verge of drowning, its body coated in a thick black ooze that had ruined the waterproofing of its feathers.

2:17.0

It was struggling to stay afloat.

2:19.0

Whatever happened to you? asked Anica, as her head bobbed above the water.

2:25.2

The poor seabird could do nothing more than cough and splutter.

2:29.1

Oh, it looks like you've run into an oil spill," said the worried mermaid.
