Every day, after the tide bells clinked, Vina zigzagged through the seaweed arcade and tapped bubbles with her nose. Pop, plip, pop—she invented a game called Copy-Current: whatever shape she made, the next swimmer had to copy. She wanted the whole arcade to play before lunch.
Until one day, a jellyfish with striped tentacles floated in and copied everything backward. Because of that, the crab twins spun upside down. Because of that, the seaweed waved left-right-left so hard it tickled everyone’s cheeks. “No fair, you’re making it funnier!” Vina squeaked.
