The Amazing g World of Coral Reefs

By Leonor Diaz

My aunt and uncle took me to the beach last vacation.I was very happy because I always have a great time with my cousin Delfín. We both like the sea. We built sandcastles, the waves rolled us around a little and we laughed a lot. We also saw the crabs run and hide in the sand. My family had a great idea: To visit a coral reef. There we would surely find crabs and many other little animals. With the sunup and the murmuring of the sea, my cousin and I slowly fell asleep on the beach while my uncle prepared the boat, the life preservers, and the diving suits. Without realizing it, Delfin and I were floating on the sea with our diving suits on. We swam to the reef and then we heard a voice: "Hello.little friends!"a crab said.

"Hi, who are you?"I asked.

"Don'tyou remember me? My name is Crab, and we met at the beach." "Oh, yeah, you're a very cute Crab." "What's your name? Who's your friend?"Crab asked.

"Oh, he's my cousin, his name is Delfin. I'm Marina." "Yes, I'm Delfin,"my cousin said while he looked at Crab's pincers with a little concern."Do you live here?" "Yes, come on, I'll introduce you to my friends! These are the corals," he said pointing to the colorful figures.
