Saeed's friend Charles said there would be many other children so the group ventured into the water. Their bravery has been rewarded. Under the water, they also saw a blue shark about 2m long.

Blue sharks are often called "sea wolves" because they follow the pack. A total of 6 blue sharks swim around Saeed and they are not afraid. Gradually, 6 animals increased to 15 and they naturally hunted without noticing the nearby swimmers.
