It was a bright and sunny afternoon, and Lala was full of excitement. The gentle sound of water splashing in the nearby pond was calling her name. She knew that Thuy, always cautious and caring, wouldn’t let her go swimming alone. But Lala had a mischievous plan in mind—she wanted to surprise Thuy by having a little swimming adventure of her own!
As soon as Thuy turned her back, Lala tiptoed quietly, clutching her favorite swimming ball. She giggled to herself, thinking how fun it would be to float on the cool water under the sun. With each little step, she felt the excitement bubbling up in her chest.
Lala hid behind a large bush to make sure Thuy couldn’t see her. Her little feet carried her quickly down the path to the pond. There, she blew up her swimming ball, which was bright and colorful—just like her joyful spirit!
She carefully waded into the water, the coolness of the pond making her squeal with delight. Holding on to the swimming ball, Lala felt brave and adventurous. She paddled and splashed, the water sparkling around her. For a moment, she was in her own magical world, a little swimmer exploring the gentle waves.
But soon, Thuy noticed Lala was gone. She called out, worried, and followed the sound of the splashes. When she found Lala, Thuy couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head. Lala, with her swimming ball, looked so proud and happy!
Thuy gently scooped her up, giving her a soft scolding but also a loving hug. She promised to let Lala swim again, but only with her watchful eye nearby. Lala beamed, knowing that next time, she wouldn’t need to hide—she’d have Thuy right there, sharing in the fun.
