Keep for time

Down beneath the ocean deep, there was a fascinating kingdom of pretty mermaids. Often they would search for things to put in a collection called 'keep for time'.

One very pretty mermaid named Shelly had no idea what to put in her collection. She thought about it all the time. One day, as she was swimming along she found a very rare shell. It had polka dots and it was twirled around like a ballerina. So she brought it home.

Shelly had had a long day today and she took a nap. When she was dozing, a little hermit crab named Henry was walking along. He was delighted to see the shell. Why? Because another crab took his shell and he had no home.

When Shelly woke up she found her shell missing. She began to search for it. Finally, with no luck, she turned to head back to the castle. As she was heading back to the castle, she saw Henry, who was looking very pale. She softened her voice and said," It's OK, you can keep it."

Henry was delighted. He went and gave Shelly a hug. Shelly declared it a special shell and to prove that she painted a beautiful picture of it and put it in a glass case. It still may be there (but it was nice, right?), beneath the ocean deep, along with other objects the collection named 'keep for time'.
