Deep under the sea lived a young mermaid named Luma. She loved to play and swim through coral castles. Around her neck, she wore a pink seashell with a glowing pearl, a gift from her grandmother.
Near a rocky archway under bright midday rays, Luma kneels by waving kelp counting rising bubbles, as a cheerful Sea Friend peers into the fronds and a sleek dolphin from the Ocean creatures circles above, clicking and watching.
During the Coral Festival, Luma swam and danced with her sea friends. Suddenly, she touched her neck. The seashell was gone. Luma felt worried and sad.
Where shadowed canyon walls meet a shaft of pale light, Old Crab raises a claw to signal Luma, while Ocean creatures—green sea turtles gliding with pulsing jellyfish—form a gentle corridor, tiny rainbow fish twinkling toward a faint glowing trail.
Luma searched everywhere and asked the ocean creatures for help. Tired, she stopped, took a deep breath, and stayed calm. That was when she noticed a soft glow under the reef.

There was her seashell, safe and shining. Luma smiled and hugged it close. She learned that slowing down and paying attention helps us find what matters most.
