There they were with their bottoms in the air. Poor Peter Pelican was looking straight down to the bottom of the pool with the left side of his face in the water. "I can see the bottom, Gamellen. I think it needs to be cleaned." he gurgled. Every time he opened his mouth to talk it filled with water. When Gamellen rescued him he had a great time blowing the water out of his mouth in a big fountain. A pelican can hold a lot of water in his mouth.
Monty the monkey didn't like having his face touch the water at all. "Help, Help Help." he cried. "I might just drink the pool dry! Help! Help! Help!"
Tom-Tom blew lots of bubbles. Then he talked into the water. The sound came out in gurgles and pops. "Heeeellllp mmmmeeeee. I caaaannn't breeeeeeathe."
Gamellen quickly took them out of the pool. "I know you are very proud of your chains," she said, "but we need to turn them around so the weight is in the middle, not in the front."
"But then we can't see them." they all complained. "We want to be able to see them."
Gamellen thought about that a long time. Then she said--quite firmly. "You can wear them in front when you are out of the pool. When you are in the pool they must be behind you." They all agreed and turned their necklaces--I mean chains--to the back. That worked very well.
They were so happy to be able to float that Gamellen had to block them in to take their pictures. Sometimes the Floaties do not want to hold still.
What is going on here? I think Monty is telling Tom-Tom a secret. I wonder what it is?
Now he is telling Peter. Do you think Gamellen knows? Maybe we will find out soon.
What do you think the secret is? How did Monty know something the others didn't know? Did he hear Grandpa Tim and Gamellen talking?
Come back tomorrow to find out what the secret is. You will be surprised.
Love, Gamellen
