Exceptional A Cube 16 Poem Poppy and Odi's Mission : Poppy and Odi's Mission 3 by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell

Story so far. Part 1)  A mermaid's friend has a toothache, and it's so bad he needs to have it pulled. None of the sea creatures know how to do it, so the mermaid wants two children to come and help. First, she has to ask the Queen if there is a way the children can breathe under water. Then she must ask the children if they will come and help her. The thing is, her friend  is a killer whale! Part 2) The mermaid went to see the mermaid queen and was happy with what she learned. The queen told them to take two bubbles and place them over Poppy and Odi’s head and they would be safe. Now they have to persuade them, but Odi is a bit worried about going inside a whale's mouth!  Chapter Three The mermaid laughed at Odi’s fear. “Oh no, he won’t eat you, my dear!” Then Poppy said, “I’ve thought about his pain so, yes, we’ll pull it out.” She turned around when Odi laughed. “You know our friends      will say we’re daft!”     The mermaid splashed around with joy. “You are a kind young girl and boy!” The mermaid brought out for the pair, the bubbles that were full of air. “Now you will find  that just like me, you both can breathe beneath the sea.” So they could swim down to the whale but unlike her-- without a tail! Then Odi squealed, “A shark! Watch out!”  And Poppy turned  and gave a shout! The shark came close  and stopped beside the mermaid who tried hard to hide her laughter at  the kids surprise; they just could not believe their eyes! “Please don’t be scared of my mad friend. When he acts tough, it’s all pretend!” Both kids were spooked; this shark was VAST!-- a submarine  just floating past! “Isn’t he cute!” Odi declared. (He’d show them all--   he wasn’t scared!) That made them laugh! “Come on, let’s go. I see our whale’s  waiting below.”     The mermaid’s friend, the dolphin, saw them swim down to the ocean floor. He told the whale, “It won’t be long. Your painful tooth  Will soon be gone.”  The mermaid went and told the whale she’d brought him help-- They would not fail. The children then went in to see the tooth giving him agony!      Continued …..   Recognized Author Notes Thank you so much for reading part 3 using the Cube 16 format which was invented by our own Robert Zimmerman. To write a cube 16, you have four syllables across with four lines down which gives you the 16 syllables per cube altogether. I find it the perfect format for my children's books. You should try it if you have already done so. :)) Some of these pictures will be changed in the book because they are borrowed. Most are from Pixabay.com which are totally free to use. I hope you enjoyed this part. Sorry it was late. I had a bad week with my own broken tooth and had to have it pulled. I think I should have got Poppy and Odi to do it, they might have been a lot more gentler than my dentist!!
