Kids were asked to talk about the sea.
• Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She’s not my friend no more.
• When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn’t blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans.
• I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. And how on earth do mermaids get pregnant?
• Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers.
