Special thanks to Tmayerferg for inspiring me for the plot.
"Come on, Oona. You can do it, sweetie," Mrs. Umiko said to her 6 month old daughter. She was learning how to swim. Baby Oona wobbled as she swam towards her mother.
"Go, Oona, go!" the mother cheered.
Oona was halfway towards her mom when she suddenly fell to the ground.
"WAAAAH!" she wailed.
The dark-haired mother swam over to her crying daughter and picked her up. "It's okay, sweetie," she said in a soothing voice, hugging little Oona. "Shh... don't cry. Hey, how about we go outside to the garden? It works every time."
Oona sniffled as she nodded her head.
So Mrs. Umiko took her outside to the garden. Once outside, Oona almost instantly calmed down. The mother sat her baby down on the grass and then covered her eyes.
"Uh-oh, where did Mommy go?" she said. "Where she go?"
Oona looked around for her mom before Mrs. Umiko uncovered her eyes saying, "Peek-a-boo!"
The baby Guppy laughed as she clapped her hands. The two played few a more rounds before the mother's cell phone rang.
"I have to take this, sweetie," the mother said to her daughter. "I promise it won't take long."
While Mrs. Umiko was chatting on her phone, her daughter was looking around the garden and saw a little gray squirrel. Wanting to play with it, Oona got up... and slowly began swimming towards the squirrel. She wobbled a bit and and fell down, but Oona got up and kept on swimming. Before she knew it, Oona had reached the other side of the yard. When the squirrel saw Oona, it scurried up the tree.
While on her phone, the dark-haired mother saw that her baby was swimming all by herself. Surprised, she immediately ended her call and quickly swam towards her.
"Oh, Oona!" she exclaimed, picking Little Oona up. "You did it, sweetie! You swam all the way across garden by yourself! Oh, I'm so proud of you!"
Mrs. Umiko hugged her baby tightly, happy that her daughter learned to swim. And Oona hugged back, happy seeing her mommy happy.
