Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to tell you a story.

Once there was a boy who lived with his family. One day, all the family went to the river and they went swimming. The boy went dived far down to the bottom of the river and found an old car. He the found a diamond and he took it. What he thought was a great treasure was the heart of the gods. The gods were angry with him for taking their heart. His punishment was being turned into a a fish next time he went swimming in the river. And that is what happened. When he was a fish, the gods turned his family into fish too. The curse will only be undone if someone puts the heart back in the river.

The end.

Until next time
Leo Roving Reporter
