Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived by the sea. She loved to watch the waves crash against the shore and collect seashells with her dog, Sparky.

Lily's daddy was a brave captain who sailed on a big ship. Sometimes, he had to leave for long periods to explore faraway lands. Lily missed him very much when he was away.

One stormy day, Lily anxiously waited for her daddy to come home. Dark clouds filled the sky, and strong winds blew. Suddenly, she heard a loud siren.

Lily rushed to the shore and saw her daddy's ship struggling in the rough waves. There, emerging from the sea, was a giant sea serpent with shimmering scales.

The sea serpent, whose name was Serena, used her powerful tail to create a whirlpool that swallowed the storm. Then, with her gentle touch, she guided the ship safely back to shore.

Lily hugged her daddy tightly, thankful that he was safe. Serena had saved the day, and Lily could tell she had a kind heart. She invited Serena to be their friend.

From that day on, whenever Lily's daddy set sail, Serena would keep an eye on the sea. If a storm came, Serena would appear and protect the ships, just like she had done for Lily's daddy.

Lily learned that sometimes, even creatures we may not understand can have feelings too. She realized that Serena felt empathy towards people in need and used her strength to help.

Lily admired Serena and decided that she would always be kind and empathetic to everyone she met. And whenever there was a storm, she would remember the brave sea serpent who came to their rescue.

So, if you ever visit the beach and look out into the wild sea, don't be afraid. Know that there might be a friendly sea serpent like Serena watching over you.
