Somewhere in the ocean surrounded by a
sea of beautiful creatures lives
Kaleisha, a brilliant young mermaid. One
day Agwe way swam by Kaleisha's coral
home on his way to find a delicious meal
of jellyfish Agwe's favorite. "Can I come
with you today?"
Kaleisha asked hoping she could see more
of the reef with her good friend who was
almost 100 years old. "Of course you can
Kaleisha,
grab on to my shell and let's go!" he laughed
as he swam forward with the current of
the ocean. "Oh look! I see some jellies over there!"
Kaleisha pointed to a group of jellyfish.
With a big smile
Agwe headed towards the jellies eating
so many like they were candy. Kaleisha noticed
something was wrong with Agwe. He kept
coughing on one of the jellyfish he ate
and was trying to spit it back out.
Kaleisha rushed to grab the jelly and
pull it out of Agwe's mouth. "This isn't a jelly!"
Kaleisha said looking towards the group
of jellyfish. Kaleisha now realized that
most of what she thought was jellyfish
were just plastic bags which ended up in
the ocean but they looked like jellyfish
"This has been happening more and more,"
Agwe said sadly, still feeling hungry.
"There have been more bags and less food
for me to find." "Oh Agwe, that is
terrible!
How do we clean up our oceans? Do you
have any ideas?" Kaleisha asked the land
people. "Reduce, reuse, recycle!"
"Those are great ideas! Together we can
help other land people recycle and teach
everyone to use reusable bags instead of
plastic! Then turtles like Agwe won't
accidentally eat trash anymore. Will you
promise to recycle your plastic as much
as you can?
We can also use reusable shopping bags
as much as possible together we can
reduce the trash in our oceans so we can
all enjoy a cleaner Earth!" said Kaleisha.
Soon there were so many land people who
were helping recycle their trash and
protect the ocean that it became clean
again. "I love my jellies!" Agwe said. "And I love you." replied Kaleisha
"Thank you for protecting our home!" The End. "Oh Agwe, will you sing that song for me again? I know the land people will love it as much as I do!" "Of course, Kaleisha"
"Uh, Uh, This here is Agwe's rap. You gotta recycle don't throw away trash! Keep the oceans clean that's what I mean and then we'll be
able to party in the sea!" "Yeah!" "Time for me to bust a rhyme - Oh look! A jelly!"  Oh Agwe! Bye! See you later!
