One day me and my Family were going to the Beach for the day but Before we're going we had to get  our stuff ready after getting our stuff ready we were off. I asked my mum is it going to be she said it's supposed to be about 1 hour away i said ok. 1 hour later “Khyani “khyani yes we are here ok hi Khyani hi come we are going to go to swim with some turtles now ok . When I first got into the

water I felt scared that the turtles around me

 would bite me. Then I

quickly Jumped out of the water and it seemed like something burnt my

skin off but nothing happened. So I went back into the water and tried

to stay calm. While I was in the water I could hear splashing noises

from behind me.  So I turned around and saw that there were more

turtles. But I knew that I could smell something fishing. So then I

waited and waited and waited. Then when I looked behind I could feel

the cold breeze coming my way. I could taste the cold breeze and the

salty water going in my mouth.after i looked at the water and i saw that they Wanted me to pat them  i was Scared but they Seem really nice so i pat them after i went to Swim they followed me after swimming with them my mum said that we have to go i was so sad but my mum said that we can come back I was really happy and I said bye to  my friends  the end
