Once upon a time, a tale to unfold,
Of a submersible, new and bold,
Built to explore the deep blue sea,
On a maiden voyage, to make history.

The remote controls were set in place,
As the crew prepared for their undersea race,
Their sonar beeped, their spirits high,
Ready to discover what lay nigh.

But tragedy struck, a sudden blow,
The hull was breached, water began to flow,
The salvagers rushed to save the day,
But debris field scattered in disarray.

The artifact they sought was lost,
Amidst the chaos and the frost,
The bow and stern, once strong and proud,
Now lay broken, scattered all around.

But the crew's courage never failed,
As they worked to fix what was assailed,
They repaired the submersible with all their might,
And returned to the surface in the morning light.

Their journey may have had its strife,
But they emerged victorious, with renewed life,
For they learned that even in the darkest night,
Hope and bravery can shine so bright.

Reflections

1. What was the purpose of the submersible's maiden voyage?
2. What happened to the submersible during their exploration of the deep sea?
3. What did the crew do when they faced the tragedy?
4. How did the crew repair the submersible?
5. What did the crew learn from their adventure?
