Once upon a time, in Pacific Ocean, there was a fish called Bubble. The fish was very lonely, because it was different than the others. Bubble was bigger than others; it had bulging eyes and drooping lips. It was coloured orange. Bubble was so lonely that it wanted to be stranded to shore and die.

One day Bubble was swimming alone and then it decided to implement his plan. Bubble swam to shore with difficultly. It was very difficult, because the waves beat it all the time back to the water.

At last it reached the shore and lay down. The sun burned Bubble’s scales and slowly it began to make death.

Then it heard a noisy scream: “CHICK DANCEEEEEEE!!!!!”

There had arrived tap-dancing chick. The chick told that his name was Yelly.

Yelly put Bubble in to a red bucked.

There was cool sea water from the fish’s home reef in the bucket. Bubble was happy.

At last, it had a real friend.

Yelly took the bucket to his beak, and together they flew off into the sunset.
