Constance

Sid was a                            who lived with his friend Sal the                             .  Sid the                             and his                             friend loved to swim under the                               and look at all of the big                            moored there.        One day, Sid the                             decided to see what it looked like inside one of the                             .  The                             told him to                              because it could be dangerous.  Sid the                             did not listen.  He found the largest of all the                             , which was named                                     .  He held on to one of the long                             that was used to tie the                                to the dock and slowly inched  his way onto the deck of the                            .    Once on board, Sid the                             heard someone coming his way, so he quickly jumped inside a pair of                             that were sitting on the deck.

The                             had a horrible smell, and Sid the                            really wanted to get out . . .FAST!      Suddenly, he heard a funny sound coming from the boot next to him.  He popped up quickly and looked inside.  There, he found a                             curled up looking at him. The                             told Sid the                             that there were                               on board the                                and that if the                             found Sid the                         ,   they would make him into a                             .

     Once safely away from the                                   ,   they found Sal the                              waiting for them under the                            .  They helped the                              make a small                            , where he lived for the rest of the summer.  Sid the                             would visit often but was always happy to go back home to the sea where he belonged,  with Sal the                            .               

            Sid the                             did not want to become part of a                             , so he  asked the                             if he would help him escape.  The                             agreed and told Sid the                             to hold on tight to the                             as he made his way down the                            and into the water.
