A Gentle Splash

Whoa! Everything felt cool and gentle, swaying beneath me. I blinked into the bright sunshine and realized I wasn't just sitting still—I was floating! Curious, I wiggled my right hand, making tiny, sparkling ripples in the clear blue water. It actually moved when I wanted it to! With an excited little gasp, I tapped the surface again, sending ripples dancing away toward the sandy shore. I'm really here, and bobbing along in the water is so much fun!
