Dad smiled back, beginning to enjoying the experience. They swam on a little further passing through some deep vegetation.
β Amazing, β was the only word dad could say. After they swam clear of the plants dad was stunned to find they were awash with bright lights and Seahorses !!!
β Seahorses !!! β, dad shouted. Alicia and Felix laughed at him. Dad couldn't believe his eye's. Beautiful brightly coloured Seahorses swam to & fro, tending to the needs of the new born fish & the eggs that were kept safely in the vegetation. Fish eggs of all types hung on 1000's of broad dark leaves. Another large catfish fanned his broad tail, sending a gentle but constant stream of water over the growing eggs. Looking closely at them, little fish could be seen moving around inside the eggs, happy that they were safe and loved. Alicia looked over and saw her dad smiling back with big bright eyes, happy she was also safe & loved.
Swimming a little further on, they came upon a clearing with a large old Fish called Mr Pike. All around Mr Pike were lots & lots of smaller fish and just recently hatched baby fish. Alicia had learned earlier that Mr Pike was the fish school teacher.
β Right children, β said Mr Pike grumpily, his 3 old teeth showing.
β What do we do when we see Mr Sharky, β Pike asked. A little fish with a small squeaky voice put up his fin first.
β Alright coco, what do we do when we see Mr Sharky. The little fish spun around all excited.
β We attack him Mr Pike and beat him up, β Coco answered, punching & biting the air around him. The rest of the class started cheering and punching the air with there baby fins. Mr Pike rolled his eyes & groaned saying, β There's always one, β while all the other little fish laughed with Coco.
β You silly minnow Coco, he would eat you β Pike barked.
β Some of us wish he would eat you. β
Coco had plenty of spirit but wasn't the cleverest of fishes.
β You run & hide silly boy, β Mr Pike told the class. β Yes, run and hide in the weeds, in the plants, where ever you can, β added Mr Pike.
Alicia, Dad & Felix all laughed along with the rest of the small fishes. Dad would never have believed what he had just saw, fish go to school. It was then that Dad decided to stop fishing, he couldn't eat another fish. Felix smoothly moved them off, taking them to see another area of the underwater city.
In the gloominess, an old wooden rowing boat came into view. It lay upside down on the lake floor but was propped up on one side, making it easy to see inside. Alicia, Felix & dad swam up close to the overturned boat and looked inside. All along what would be the floor of the lake bed, were soft large leafs functioning like a carpet. Every 3 inches or so, they could see a bundle of little green leaves which Felix explained were the fishes beds. Little fish darted here and there, seeming to play hide and seek. A fat yellow goldfish was playing hide & seek, she was swimming around looking for minnows who had hidden from her. Alicia had seen a small yellow fish called Aiden, hide behind a piece of dark old wood. But oddly every few seconds a burst of bubbles seemed to explode from behind him. It didn't matter where Aiden hid every few seconds a burst of bubbles seemed to explode from behind him. This always made Aiden the easiest fish to catch, which he didn't like.
β Why don't you catch someone else first,β Aiden protested. The yellow goldfish laughed & chuckled and said.
β But I always see you first Aiden, you always have bubbles exploding from your bum. β Aiden didn't laugh he just grumbled, β I cant help it if I have wind and gas a lot.β All the other fish found this very funny. As if on cue while they laughed Aiden farted again and soon every fish around him, fell about laughing. Alicia, Felix & dad laughed as well, the more Aiden complained the more bubbles shot out from him. They all felt sorry for Aiden but agreed it was very very funny. Felix laughed & told them that secretly Aiden's nick name was Farty pants.
Felix noticed that it was now getting dark and he would need to take his friends back to the surface.
They all waved goodbye to Mr Pike and his classroom of hatchlings and to the little fish playing hide and seek. They made Alicia & her dad promise to return another day. When Felix took them to the surface Alicia & dad climbed out of the water and started to get dry.
β That was brilliant,β shouted Alicia, now out of the water. Dad looked over to where Felix still swam, and said, β Thank you.β
Alicia took a sandwich from dad's fishing bag & threw it over to Felix who ate it in one go.
β Thank you Felix, can we come back another day, β Alicia shouted.
Felix answered, β Yes, any time. β
Dad waved over to Felix, who then waved back with his fin and sank beneath the water out of sight.
Alicia walked home with dad at the end of a great father daughter adventure.
Sure that they would do this again another day.
The End.
