Memories at Goa Beach

Hi! am Azaan, am 11years old, I always wanted to be a "Writer or the Penman", its a summer holidays for me and it's Saturday night today, after finishing dinner with my parents, i said good night to them and i left to my room, sat at my best place in room "the window corner" I can feel the view from the windows specially on nights even it is dark, took my Story book and Pen, then started thinking what story to write next after finishing one of my finest story "THE WASTE CLOTH?", five day's back we returned from Goa. So, am gonna tell you about my Adventures at Goa beach.

It was my third visit to goa, we reached by night to the goa hotel room. Next day morning we woke-up by 7am, had breakfast and we went to a nearby beach, it was a sunny beach. I was getting ready to enter the beach.

"Azaan just don't go deeper into the beach!", said my Mom.

"Tactically i said, Yeah Mom ok!"

I loved the beach, Goa is like my second home town me, I loved all the places here.

I used a snorkel, I pretended I was entering to a secret world which was filled with many creatures.

That morning, I was doing summersault, jumping front and back in the beach. when i was floating back and enjoying the warm sunlight, i put my head under the water and the next moment, I felt something touched my shoulder. I raised up and checked what it was, I saw it was a "turtle with tail" and it was going away.

I followed the turtle with tiny fishes and hundreds of colored fishes. As I allowed myself to glide gracefully next to the tail turtle, I felt his flipper touched my hand. I stayed close, and the two of us swam together.

After sometime, I decide to put my head above the water to clear my mask while turtle crunched on some green seaweed. I looked back at the beach.

"My mother will be worried, turtle. I have to go. But I'll be back tomorrow, okay?"

It's hard to explain, but I think turtle smiled at me!

I didn't tell anyone about turtle, and that night I dream about turtle showing me the whole beach. The next morning, I almost dragged my parents to the beach, and then quickly wore my rubber flippers, and stagger into the blue water.

"Be careful, Azaan! called my mother, as usual!"

"of course, Ma!" I replied.

Then I started swimming at a safe depth, and then waved to my parents. At a black rock turtle was waiting for, turtle saw me and smiled and then asked me to follow him. Not with words of course, but I just knew,

And then, Turtle took me to a magical journey of different places in beach like I saw gaint rocks, slimy eels but i dint touched them because of sudden shocks they passes and i saw thousands of starfish, few fishes which are resting on a rock, many sea plants and colorful stones. I also met to a whole family of turtles!

I was really enjoying my moment there, feel's so amazed of spending my time in depth of water. After a few moments thought it's best to get my head out of the water and get some fresh air.

After few minutes of taking some fresh air and I turned back and saw turtle was twisting and turning because of fishing net, a hook was planted in his neck. I was nearly Choked.

"wait, Turtle," trust me, I'll help you, I said to it. Turtle dint moved and stayed perfectly, I could see the pain in his eyes and making noise because of a hard pain in neck.. My hands were trembling, but soon after i pulled out the hook and net from turtle neck. Now, the turtle was safe.

I gathered up the net, as I didn't want any other turtle getting caught. I suddenly realized I had been away from the beach for quite some time, so i waved to the turtle family and moved to the surface.

But the beach seemed so far and my parents might worry about me. I had never been so shocked or frightened in my life! Tears filled my eyes as I tried to keep moving but, my hands and feet were like i lost energy.

"Turtle," I cried, "I'm so tired and the beach is so far away. I simply can't swim back!

Suddenly, A man on a small boat was coming on my way, he saw me pulled me up into the boat, I was holding turtle in my hand though, slowly I started opening my eyes and spotted my parents were walking up and down at the sea shore waiting for me. Before getting of from boat I slowly leaved the turtle into the water, has beach was a home of turtle, turtle poked his head out of water and gave me one final smile. That was the last time I saw turtle.
