Jacques the jelly fish was relaxing, idling the day away, when, to his
consternation, he found he had drifted away from his salty environment into the
fresh estuarine water. He was agitated, even though he knew that some of his distant
cousins lived in fresh water lakes. He feared he would not find the minerals he required and thought he would soon be in extreme difficulties.
It was pure luck, then, that through
the thick stems of the cattails, he spotted a wash of blue. It was the ocean, his true home, and he
knew that he must swim towards it.
He was speeding on his way when suddenly, he was jolted awake.
He smelt the citrus scented soap his beloved owner
used in her bath. He knew he was about to be pressed into service to exfoliate her lovely legs. Jacques sighed happily. Life
could not get any better than this!
Well done! Very entertaining.
