Why I Was So Tired

I stood on the end of the pier looking into the ocean.

A whale came up to the surface and asked if I wanted to go for a ride.

I said okay. I jumped off the pier and onto the whale's back. The whale swam away from the pier.

I stayed dry as the whale swam for hours.

The whale eventually returned to the pier. Some people on the pier formed a human chain and helped me get off the whale and back up onto the pier.

I thanked the whale for the ride. The whale said I was welcome and swam into the ocean.

I went home and fell asleep early.
