A bond is formed
Peter looked at the manta ray for a few moments, it was still above the surface and just gently moving around. He started to walk towards it and put his hand out. But it took him a while to gain the courage to actually reach out and touch the manta ray.
After all, he had heard that manta rays could be dangerous, but he wasn’t so sure of that anymore. This manta ray seemed to be really friendly and just wanted to hang out with him. He kept petting the creature and then finally it went back into the water and disappeared.
