A long time ago, in the middle of the ocean, there laid a small island where everyone was happy. On that island there lived a girl called Hannah born with a very special gift. She could walk on water but couldn’t swim.
Every afternoon everyone would go into the reef to swim and Hannah felt left out. One dark night Hannah ran away from the island. She leaped on the water and walked away.
Not long after Hannah saw a pod of dolphins. The dolphins asked “why are you crying?” Hannah replied, ”I can’t swim.” The dolphins tried helping Hannah but Hannah just floated like a cork.
Next she bumped into a school of flying fish. They asked, “what is wrong?” Hannah replied, ”I can’t swim.” The flying fish tried to pull Hannah down but she still floated like a cork.
Hannah walked on and bumped into a group of whales. The whales asked Hannah why she was crying. Hannah replied, ”I can’t swim.” The whale tried to keep Hannah from floating with it’s tail but Hannah still floated like a cork.
Next Hannah bumped into a big sea turtle. The turtle asked, “why are you crying?” Hannah explained that she couldn’t swim. The turtle said: ”Don’t worry about other people. Be yourself.” Hannah understood what the turtle said and went home joyfully.
From then on, Hannah lived happily with her family forever.
