Under the Sea and other Stories | Page 9

As I got closer to Sam I could see that he was snorkeling so I started recording a video. I had been following him since I met him. He was getting inside the dark rocks when he found a starfish. It was beautiful. It was shiny, pink and enormous. Sam was freezing, his arms where shivering. Anyway he was feeling fascinated so he didn’t care. (I swear to you that he was really excited.)

This was my first eal recording experience, because just the week before I had graduated as a photographer. I had gotten a ten in the last exam. After all, my friends had thrown rotten eggs and lot of flour at me, I was eager to show them how good I was at taking pictures.

Next, Sam grabbed the starfish and put it slowly in a bag he was holding. Then he continued swimming when we heard a noise. We turned around and we realized that it was from a beautiful immense dolphin that was jumping and splashing in the water. We observed him for some minutes. It was so cute ˂3.

Later I could see that Sam was too far away from me so I swam up to him quickly to see if there was another incredible thing. There wasn’t, it was just a group of fishes going and coming from place to place.

Finally Sam and I, returned slowly to the beach. It had been an incredible experience for us, just for the reason that we both loved swimming and discovering new beautiful things. I believe neither him nor I will ever forget it.
