Phenomenon to be explained: Why the sky is blue
Setting: Under the Sea
Characters: Esmerelda (the sea mermaid), King Sebastian (Esmerelda's father), Maria (the water fairy)
In a far away kingdom under the sea lived King Sebastian and his daughter Esmerelda. He ran the kingdom smoothly and all of his people truly respected him. Esmerelda had always longed for something more. She often would swim to the very top of the ocean and look up at the black sky above and wonder if there was something more out there. Each night when she would return home and she would ask her father if he knew what lived beyond the sea. King Sebastian told Esmerelda that no one knew what lived beyond the sea out of fear of never being able to return. One day, when Esmerelda was on her way to the water line she sean into Maria the water fairy. She told Maria about her curiosity of what lied beyond the sea. Maria reluctantly told Esmerelda that she could help her, but there would be a price. If Esmerelda was to go to the outside world she would never be able to return to the sea, which meant that she could never see her father or her family ever again. Esmerelda went home that night and contemplated the choice over and over again in her head. The next morning when she awoke she kissed her still sleeping father on the forehead and head to the water line. When she arrived there, Maria was waiting for her. Maria asked Esmerelda if she had made a decision and she told her she had. Esmerelda wanted to be a part of the outside world. She know longer wanted to wonder what was out there, she wanted to be a part of it, and so she made her decision. With that, Maria waved her wand around Esmerelda and in an instant a huge blue wave circled around Esmerelda. She began to rise up over the water line and with in seconds she was on the shore. The big blue wave circled around her and filled the blackened sky until the entire sky was a pale blue. Esmerelda looked down to the ocean and saw nothing but water. Her kingdom was no longer visible to her. She looked up at the newly blue sky and walked along the shore to see what awaited her.
