Deep beneath the sea, where starfish sing and coral gardens bloom, lived a kind little mermaid named [Mira](JGMF99GW), who danced in the ocean’s room.

She had seashells in her hair and a tail that shimmered bright, but most of all, she had a heart that glowed with gentle light.

One morning, as she brushed her hair with her favorite pearl-shell comb, she heard a sound—a funny bleat—not from the sea, but from the foam!

"Bl-bl-bleh!" cried someone, stuck on a wobbly rock. [Mira](JGMF99GW) swam up fast and gasped—it was a goat in a seaweed sock!

"Hello!" said [Mira](JGMF99GW) kindly. "You’re not from ‘round these parts. What are you doing on this rock with kelp wrapped ‘round your heart?"

"I got lost!" said the goat, his name was [Gus](35PGP99F) the Brave. "I followed a cloud that looked like cake and tumbled in a wave!"

[Mira](JGMF99GW) giggled. “Cake-clouds are tricky! But the ocean’s not your land. Let’s find a way to help you out. I’ll lend a friendly hand.”

[Gus](35PGP99F) wobbled as he tried to swim. “I’m not a fish, you see. I’m better at climbing cliffs than floating in the sea!”

[Mira](JGMF99GW) called her dolphin friends, her turtles and her whale, and they all made a splashy plan to help him on the trail.

They built a boat of bubble-wood and jellyfish for sails. Crabs tied seaweed ropes so strong they’d hold in mighty gales!

[Gus](35PGP99F) climbed aboard, his hooves unsure, but soon he grinned with glee. “I never thought I’d ride a boat that smelled like salty tea!”

[Mira](JGMF99GW) waved and swam beside, guiding him with care. They passed by glowing fish and coral castles rare.
