now,39。 said Laura. 39。They39。re beautiful, aren39。t they? I39。m really glad we saved them. And now the jelly worker won39。t get them. They won39。t be taken to the Jelly Shoe Factory and made into jellyfish shoes.39。Scott looked very guilty.39。I was going to tell you about that,39。 he said. 39。There isn39。t any jelly shoe Factory. 39。There isn39。t any jelly workers. They don39。t make jelly shoes out of washedup jellyfish.39。39。How do you know?39。 said Laura.39。Because it39。s just a story. I made it all up!39。39。No you didn39。t !39。 said Laura.39。I did, I did, honest!39。 said Scott.But Laura didn39。t believe him.39。Where are my jellyfish shoes anyway?39。 she asked Scott.Scott looked around. 39。I don39。t know. I put them down when I went to get the buckets. They can39。t have walked off by themselves…39。Laura looked around too. The beach was empty. Then she saw a line of stars, in the sand. They led right down to the sea.39。There they are!39。 Scott pointed.Laura saw her jellyfish shoes. They were bobbing about on the waves. They were heading out to sea.Scott waded into the water. 39。I39。m going to get them back!39。 he said. Laura thought for a minute. Then she said, 39。No. Let them go.39。She waved at them. 39。Bye bye, jellyfish shoes,39。 she said, a little sadly.39。What are you going to tell Mum?39。 asked Scott. 39。She39。ll be very angry!39。But Laura wasn39。t listening. She was smiling a secret smile. She was thinking about her jellyfish shoes having a lovely time… swimming with whales and dolphins and octopuses… back in the deep, deep sea where they belonged.
