Once upon a time in the deep blue sea

Swam a little blue whale who was naughty as could be





Mummy whale said, ‘Don’t swim too far away’

But the little whale wanted to explore and play





So one summer morning while mummy whale slept

The little whale swam to where the old wreck was kept





‘Don’t go near,’ mummy whale always said

But the naughty little whale had other plans instead





She swam down deep until the wreck was near

Until she was very far away, it was dark down here





She swam into the wreck but then started to get scared

And then she saw the face with its big teeth bared!





‘Don’t be scared,’ said the big white teeth

‘I'm just a friendly shark out playing on the reef’





‘Why not come closer and we can have a proper chat?’

But when the whale got close the teeth went SNAP!





The whale tried to swim away as fast as she could flee

But the hungry shark followed, he would eat her for his tea!





SNAP! Went his teeth and the shark said, ‘Yum!’

And the little whale cried, ‘I should have listened to my mum.’





The shark got close and tried to take a bite

But the whale moved in time and swam with all her might





And just when she thought the shark would get too close

Mummy whale swam over and hit him on the nose





The shark swam away to the wreck to hide

The little whale swam to her mummy and cried





And from that moment on the little whale knew

She would listen to her mummy when she told her what to do





So the little blue whale, once naughty as could be

Was now the best behaved whale in the deep blue sea.
