Hi Mum! I'm trying
to find my wetsuit.
Do you know where
it is?

Why do you need your wetsuit, Dan?

I want to go surfing. Can I?

I’m not sure,
Dan. The ocean can  be unpredictable,
and a bit
dangerous.

But Mum, I’ve
always wanted to try
surfing! I’ll be careful,
I promise!

I know you’ll be careful. If you go with your dad, I'm sure
it'll be ok.

Thanks,
Mum!
