An excerpt from the story

Under the waves is where you will meet,  on Sea Turtle Street.
Samson was wise at one hundred and  two, if there was a problem, he knew what  to do.

Along came a whale with tears in his eyes, all of the fish were scared by his size.

“How can I stop feeling sad?” asked Whale.

Samson knew how with a flick of his tail.

Salt and seawater and into the blue, knew just what to do! Close your eyes softly, breathe through your nose, fill up your lungs and wiggle your toes. Let out a breath and count one, two, three..
