Once upon a time, there lived a boy, Ali who was very sad because his best friend Tarçın the horse passed away. Ali’s parents took him to Maiden Tower (the famous tower on a small islet at the Bosphorus in Istanbul) to cheer him up.

‘’I will take your life!!’’ shouted the beautiful mermaid and suddenly she transformed into an ugly witch. Just then, a strange creature jumped out of the sea, took Ali and they lost in the depths of the sea.

A few minutes later the creature reached his destination. It seemed to be some kind of underwater palace made of beautifully preserved gold and light blue quartz.

Ali started to choke and the creature said: “Lick this wall and you will be able to breathe underwater”. Ali licked the wall and nothing happened. The creature started to laugh.“Haha you thought that you would really breathe underwater by licking that wall, haha, here's some seaweed.” Ali stopped for a second and ate the seaweed, because he had no other option. Suddenly, Ali was able to breathe and he started to follow the mysterious creature.

So what type of creature are you?

I am half moose and half panda.

“So what kind of a creature are you?” asked Ali. “I am half moose and half panda, '' the monster responded. “By the way the witch is on to us.” Ali and the moose-panda told the underwater temple’s villagers “Quick! Form a line of defense an evil witch is coming.”

The villagers were confused.” But we do not have any kind of defense in this temple,” the villagers responded. Ali knew that he was in big trouble if they had no way to defend against the evil witch.

Ali saw his horse in front of the glass room that he was locked in.

Some hours later……..

Ali decided to break the glass door and take his lovely horse Tarcin back but even though he tried to break the glass door or the glass walls he couldn’t get out.

Then Ali had an idea…….

Ali understood that he could steal ZEUS’ trident. After a while he had the trident and he felt Zeus’ power in his hands.  Then he went back to his  horse. When he was with his horse, he began to break the glass and door with a trident. But then the mighty trident fell into the depths of the sea.

Ali dove after the trident and was already giving up, but then he found the trident. He tried to break the glass again, but it still didn’t work. Then he realized that he had to fetch a more powerful tool.

So he fetched a hammer and went back to his horse and started to break the glass again, but then the witch came and put Ali into the glass room, too.  Luckily,  Ali still had the hammer with which he tried to break the glass until he got tired and couldn’t do it anymore. So he lay down to rest.

An hour later the witch came and, as Ali was resting, the witch thought that Ali was dead and so the witch went back to the depths of the sea. Finally, Ali managed to break the glass. The witch heard the glass break and hurried back to the palace’s glass room to find that…..

...Ali and Tarcin the horse were running away, but on the way they faced another problem. The witch  transformed Ali into an elephant to ran slower but he didn’t realise that an elephant will be too big and it probably will destroy the witch’s city. 

She turned Ali into a boy again but it was too late to protect the underwater city from the destruction. Witch was crying because everythig was damaged. Ali couldn’t believe his eyes but it was the time to escape for him and his horse.

They were very happy to leave that awful place. Ali was very excited to be with his horse once again. "It was time to go home my dear friend" - Said Ali. They came back to Ali’s parents. The parents couldn’t believe their eyes. They thought that Ali and his horse were dead. Ali and his horse were lucky to survive. 

His parents asked him “Where were you for such a long time? And how is it possible that Tarcin is alive? Ali told his parents everything about the Hidden Life under the Sea. They couldn’t believe it. “It’s like a fairy tale, “they said. “You should write a book about your adventure. “

Ali went to his bedroom and stayed there. After a week he came out and brought the book to his parents. “That’s awesome, “they said. Ali showed the book to all his friends and the whole family. They really liked the story and send Ali to a publishing house with it.

Ali went to the nearest publishing house. They read his story and offered him 10 million dollars. Ali agreed. He gave some money to his family and he bought a castle for him and his horse. They lived there happily for the rest of their lives.
