How the Bahamas water became so blue

Blue water adventuring!

Introduction: 

The reason I'm writing this entry is because for school I am reading the story "How the Night Came from the Sea", and it talks about how people explained how darkness came and darkness came from the sea.  My mom asked us how we thought the Bahamian water became so blue.  This is my story.

Story:  

Once upon a time, in a castle on Paradise Island in the Bahamas  there sat a king and he sat on his throne all day.  The queen had just died and the king was very lonely.  All of a sudden, the king heard a crack.  The roof of the castle began to collapse.  The king yelled, "The sky is falling, everybody, the sky is falling!"  As soon as he jumped up he knew why the sky was falling.  The Gods wanted the golden ring the queen had given the king before the queen died.  Later the next morning a peasant woke up and he was covered up with bricks and wood.  He said, "Oh, no!  The king!"  He ran to the king's room.  He dug, and he dug, and he dug, through bricks and sticks, but he couldn't find the king.  A few minutes later, he heard the rumbling noise of the king erupting from the darkness.  "King, you're all right!"  The king said, "I am, but the castle isn't"  They laughed.  When they looked out the window and saw the water they said, "The water is so blue!"  

After the storm, the king looked under his bed searching for the treasure chest that had the golden ring in it but he couldn't find it.  He said, "Oh, no!  The Gods stole the golden ring!"  but instead of the Gods stealing it the peasant took it from under the bed so it wouldn't get crushed.  The king walked out of his door and ran into the peasant who was delivering the treasure chest back to the king.  The king was surprised.  He said, "peasant, why do you have the treasure chest?"  The peasant said, "I was just protecting it so it wouldn't get crushed"  The king tossed the ring into the water because he wanted the Gods to have it because he thought all people and gods should share.  The ring was magic and made the water stay a beautiful teal blue.  

Thats how the Bahamian water became so blue.

Hope all is well!
