Waleed was at the beach with his mom. "Look, Mom! A big fish!" he shouted excitedly. It was a whale shark, huge and spotted, swimming near the shore. Waleed jumped up and down, full of joy. "Wow! Look at its big mouth!"
The whale shark swam closer. Waleed could see its tiny eyes and the beautiful patterns on its skin. It was grey with white spots. "Hello, big fish!" he called out, waving his little hand. The whale shark seemed to smile back!
Waleed wanted to swim with the whale shark. "Can I go in the water, Mom?" he asked eagerly. His mom smiled and said, "Yes! But stay close to me!" Waleed nodded, jumping into the sparkling blue water.
As they swam closer, Waleed saw the whale shark's tail. It swished and swayed like a dancer. "Look at it move!" he exclaimed. They splashed together, having so much fun, feeling the waves around them.
Waleed held his breath and dove underwater. The whale shark was beneath him, gliding smoothly. Waleed thought, “It’s like flying in the ocean!” He smiled wide as he swam beside the giant fish.
Waleed noticed little fish swimming around the whale shark. They were colorful and playful. "Look at those fish! They're so pretty!" Waleed said gleefully. The little fish danced around Waleed too, making him laugh.
Suddenly, the whale shark turned and swam deeper into the sea. Waleed's eyes widened. “Where are you going?” he called. The shark flicked its tail, as if saying, “Follow me!”
Waleed and his mom swam behind the whale shark. They saw beautiful coral reefs filled with bright colors. “This is amazing!” Waleed shouted, his heart full of wonder.
The whale shark paused and floated near a big rock. It was like a friendly giant showing them the way. Waleed said, “Thank you for the tour, big fish!” with a big smile on his face.
After a day full of fun, the whale shark began to swim away. Waleed waved goodbye, promising to return. “See you again, whale shark!” he called out as it disappeared into the blue depths.
