Kids stories

Athena Beauty Queen, a sea witch in training, helps a sad fish find its lost shell under the sea with help from Treasure Hunter the turtle.
Athena and the Lost Shell

The sea is blue and bright and full of gentle moving waves. Tiny bubbles float slowly upward to the calm shining blue surface. Colorful corals grow on rocky hills under soft wavering light. Long green seaweed sways gently with each passing ocean current. Shiny pearls hide inside clams in quiet underwater caves. Small fish swim in schools and glow softly like moving lights. Athena Beauty Queen is a sea witch learning simple magic. She lives in a coral house with many pink and golden shells. Athena is curious when she sees a friend in need. She wears a tiny pearl necklace that glows at night. Athena can sing a soft song that sparkles in bubbles. Athena can cast small waves with her little coral wand. The fish says I have lost my shiny white home shell. The fish feels lonely and cold without its smooth shell. Athena says I will find your shell and make you happy. Athena calls Treasure Hunter the wise turtle with a wide shell. Treasure Hunter is calm and old and knows many hidden places. Together they swim side by side across soft white sandy ground. They agree to look under stones and seaweed and coral fans. They look under smooth stones and under bright pink seashells. They look under waving seaweed and around green coral fans. They look at clams holding tiny pearls behind closed shell lips. They look at oysters hiding precious pearls in mossy corners. They look at starfish clinging to blue rocky ocean hills. They look at crabs scuttling under small reefs and sandy mounds. They look at jellyfish floating softly like glowing underwater balloons. They look at seahorses curling tails around waving sea fronds. They look at octopus hiding gentle arms under old rock covers. They look at pearls scattered near a sunken treasure chest. They look at glowing bubbles gathering under a bright coral arch. They look at small wooden planks covered in green sea moss. Suddenly a Bounty Hunter crab appears snapping big fierce claws. Bounty Hunter wants the lost shiny shell for a shiny treasure prize. Bounty Hunter chases Athena and clicks claws across sandy ground. Athena holds her wand and whispers a gentle glowing magic word. A soft wave glows and rolls toward the crab and moves him back. They keep looking near a pearl oyster inside a quiet water cave. They keep looking near a small sunken boat covered in coral. Then Athena spots a little white shell under a waving anemone. The shell is smooth and curved and glows softly in gentle light. Athena lifts the shell high and returns it to the happy little fish. The fish slips inside the shell and dances around with joy. The fish glows happy and sings a gentle happy song. Athena laughs and claps and smiles a warm bright smile. Treasure Hunter nods and makes a calm turtle laugh. Athena and Turtle spin in glowing moonlit water. They spin like floating pearls and bubbles in the sea. They sing about friendship and kindness and brave hearts. They sing we are friends who help each other with love. At the end Athena waves goodbye and swims home to rest. She sleeps on a soft shell bed inside her glowing pink coral house. Athena dreams of kind adventures and knows she is brave and gentle. The end is soft and bright under calm blue moonlight.
