One day, there lived a shiny rainbow fish who lived in the deep blue sea. Then a little blue fish asked for a shimmery scale. The rainbow fish said no! The little blue fish felt sad.

Next, the rainbow fish felt lonely. After that, the disappointed rainbow fish went to see the wise octopus. The octopus told the rainbow fish to give away one of his sparkly scales to the little blue fish.

Finally, the rainbow fish gave a sparkly scale to the little blue fish. The rainbow fish felt content because the little blue fish was happy and they became friends.

Once there was a beautiful rainbow fish who lived in a deep wide ocean. Then a little blue fish said, “Rainbow fish, can I have a scale?” but the rainbow fish said no.

After that, the sad rainbow fish had no friends at all. Then the rainbow fish went to see the wise octopus for advice.

“Rainbow fish, please don’t be angry at me. I just want one scale!”. So, the rainbow fish shared her scale with the little blue fish. Then the rainbow fish played with her new friends.
