She would leap into the air and splash back into the water.

But one day, she spotted something in the distance.

She swam closer and saw it was a seahorse.

Priya was thrilled to meet a new friend in the sea.

She asked the seahorse, 'Do you want to play with me?'

The seahorse, feeling shy, did not respond.

Priya decided to give the seahorse some space.

The next day, Priya returned to the same spot in the sea.

She was happy to see the seahorse again.

She asked the seahorse, 'Are you ready to play now?'

The seahorse, feeling braver, nodded and swam with Priya.

Priya and the seahorse had the best time playing together in the sea.

They swam, leaped, and even had a race.

At the end of the day, the seahorse thanked Priya for her patience.

Priya, feeling grateful, gave the seahorse a warm smile.

From that day on, Priya and the seahorse became the best of friends.

They would meet every day and play together in the sea.

Priya learned that sometimes, friends need time to feel comfortable.

And the seahorse learned that it's fun to try new things with friends.

Priya and the seahorse continued to have many adventures in the sea.

They met new friends, explored new places, and always had fun.

Life in the sea was more exciting with a friend by your side.

And Priya was happy to have a friend like the seahorse.
