Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Short Stories for Kids.

I hope you guys had an amazing weekend and got up to lots of interesting things.

I wonder what magical story we have coming up for you today is.

Here's a clue, it is set underwater.

Okay, so today's story request comes from Camille Haley and Sam.

And they would love a story where the main characters are a squid, a whale, and a mermaid

who are all best friends.

And they thought it would be cool if they found a castle underwater.

But then there's a mean shark who they meet underwater.

So okay, we love this idea guys.

Thank you so much for the request and we hope that you love your story.

Enjoy.

Beneath the ocean waves, far from land and the problems of people lived three friends.

They were a squid, a whale, and a mermaid.

Life beneath the ocean was filled with fun and games, and the three friends were often

off exploring deep underwater caves, coral reefs, and bubbling sea mounts.

They would explore ancient shipwrecks sat on the ocean bottom, poke the heads above

the surface to see the sky, and peer into the deepest darkest chasms on the sea floor.

And wonder just what was down there.

All in all, they were a happy trio.

Then, one day, the squid sped through the waters full of excitement and swerved to a stop

right beside her two friends.
