Ages 4 to 64 minute read10 illustrated pages
Vera loved her toy, AeroSub. It was a speedy plane. Vera made it fly high in the blue sky. It went zoom, zoom, zoom!
One day, Vera played with new toys. She left AeroSub alone in the green grass. AeroSub felt a little sad and quiet. It wanted to fly.
Then, dark clouds came. Drop, drop, drop! It started to rain. Big raindrops splashed down. AeroSub got wet and worried.
The rain made a big puddle. The water grew and grew. Splash! AeroSub slowly moved into the cool water. It bobbed up and down.
AeroSub was in the deep water now. "Oh, no!" it thought. "I am a plane. Planes do not swim." It felt lost and wanted to fly away.
But then, a new idea came. What if it could go under? AeroSub closed its eyes. It wanted to be brave.
Slowly, AeroSub began to change. Its wings tucked in tight. The propeller whirred and went quiet. It was not a plane anymore.
AeroSub was a submarine now! It had strong fins and a periscope. It could go down deep. It went swish, swish, swish under the water.
Vera came back to the yard. She looked for her plane. "Where is AeroSub?" she asked. She looked at the big puddle.
Vera saw AeroSub! It was a submarine, exploring the water. Vera smiled a big smile. Now they could play new games, on land and in the water!
The end.
