Ripples, Polly and Jason, after meeting Lucinda, who is getting ready for the carnival, go off to the beach, where they meet Helga, a land turtle who wants to learn to swim. The three try and do everything they can to make her wish come true, but a wave drags them onto a reef in the middle of the sea. Icarus joins them on the reef and suggests to ask Lucinda for help. She temporarily abandons her competition preparations and carries Helga herself, letting her swim just on the very surface of the water, back to the beach. The land turtle’s wish has come true and Lucinda, with a little help from Ripples, Polly and Jason, wins the competition.
