Captain Mia wakes up on her big, blue boat. “Good morning, sun!” she says. The sea is shiny and soft. Mia puts on her red hat and her stripy scarf. She hears, “Squawk!” Polly the parrot is ready too.
The boat goes, “Chug-chug.” Mia smiles. She sees tiny fish swim, “Swish-swish.” Mia claps her hands. Hop! Polly flies to her shoulder.
Mia looks at her map. She points, “Treasure is here!” She turns the boat wheel. The wind goes, “Whoosh!” The boat rocks, “Tip-tap!” Mia holds on tight.
A big log is in the water. Mia says, “Oh!” She thinks fast. She turns left, “Turn, turn!” The boat goes, “Vroom!” The log floats by. Mia laughs. “Good job, Mia!” says Polly.
Clouds come. The sky is gray. Rain goes, “Plip-plop.” Mia finds her yellow coat. She puts it on. She hugs Polly. “All safe,” says Mia. The rain stops. The sun peeks out. “Yay!” says Mia. Now the sea is shiny again.
Mia sees a little island. She says, “Land ho!” The boat goes, “Bump-bump!” Mia jumps down. Hop! Her boots go, “Squish,” in the sand. Mia sees a shell. She picks it up. “Hello, shell!” she giggles.
She finds a big rock. Mia looks behind. “Wow!” There is a small, brown box. Mia opens it slow. Creak! Inside, gold coins. Mia claps. “Treasure!” she cheers. Polly says, “Shiny, shiny!”
Mia puts one coin in her pocket. She smiles. “Let's go home,” she says. Mia and Polly go back to the boat. The sea is soft and blue. The boat goes, “Chug-chug,” all the way home.
Mia hugs Polly. “We did it!” she says.
Being brave and kind makes every day special.
