In a warm, emerald-green corner of the ocean, lived a bright yellow fish named Finley. Finley was very easy to spot because of his vibrant yellow scales and the two beautiful, sky-blue stripes on his side. He always had a happy smile and loved to swim through the bubbles.
Finley lived near the Rainbow Reef, a place filled with tall purple corals and bushy red sea plants. Every year, the sea creatures held a “Coral Carnival,” and Finley was the leader of the underwater parade.
One morning, Finley noticed that the parade path was blocked by some long, tangled green seaweed that had drifted in overnight. “Oh no!” Finley thought. “My friends won’t be able to swim through here for the carnival!”
Finley was a small fish, but he was very fast and nimble. He began to swim in quick circles around the seaweed, using his tail to create a gentle current. He invited his friend, Stella the Starfish, to help him move the smaller pebbles out of the way.
By working together and using his speedy swimming skills, Finley cleared the path just in time. When the carnival started, all the fish, from the pink jellyfishes to the little orange ones, cheered for Finley.
Finley realized that even a small fish can do big things when they use their speed and a positive attitude. He spent the rest of the day dancing through the bubbles, happy to be the brightest leader in the deep blue sea.
