Miracle at sea

A group of friends went on holiday to the South of France. The weather was good, so the friends decided
to rent a car and spend the day on the beach. Jonathan kept the car keys in his pocket. Hours passed and
Jonathan forgot he had the car keys in his pocket. He went swimming, played beach volleyball and
sunbathed.

It was getting dark so the friends decided to go home. Jonathan went to unlock the car door but he had
lost the keys!

Swimming in the sea was a boy wearing a snorkel and a mask. Jonathan asked the boy to help him find
his keys. The boy dived deep down to the bottom of the sea. A few seconds later the boy appeared
holding Jonathan’s car keys.

The friends were so happy and grateful for the boy’s help that they bought him a big ice cream to say
thank you.
