What hides beneath the surface of the ocean?
Sunken ships, forgotten treasures, or even gods themselves?

Hello my lovely learners and welcome to Easy Stories in English,
the podcast that will take your English from okay to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's intermediate level story is called Return to the Sea.
As always,

So I just want to start by apologising if I sound a bit hoarse today.
Hoarse, H-O-A-R-S-E, is when your throat is dry and you can't talk very quickly.
I may sound a bit hoarse today because I had a rather exciting evening last night.
I went down to the house of a local artist who did a naked picture of me.
That's right, I did some still life modelling.
Now, I would love to show you the picture, but unfortunately I am naked.
in said picture so it probably wouldn't be very appropriate but it was a charcoal drawing and I stupidly suggested that I do a yoga pose
while doing the drawing so the pose I did was happy baby pose which is when you lie on your back and you have your legs bent and you're holding onto your feet with your hands.
So as I'm sure you can imagine, it's quite an uncomfortable pose to be holding for a long time.
This was my first time doing life modelling,
so I didn't quite realise what I was getting myself into.
