with some West Indian Manatee. We all said yes we were all
happy.the next day we all got 

    our swimming togs and we put them on . Then we got Went 

 our way to the water. We could already see

some West Indian Manatee.  We could hear a nice

breeze going through our hair with some beautiful

splashing noise by the waves coming through the tide.

I could feel the cold water with the seaweed under my

toes. While we were swimming with the West Indian

Manatee I felt a light touch to my arm under the water.

then I tried to hold my breath and go under the water

to see what it was, and what I saw was amazing to look

at. It was a West Indian Manatee touching my arm.

Then when I got back up to the top of the water I saw

that  Kolotita and  Jeyda and Emeline already had a
friend which was a West

Indian Manatee.we were all happy but
after Swimming with them we had to
go because I was getting dark we were
all sad but were all Coming back
