In the deep ocean waters, there lived a shark named Sam. He swam alone in the big blue sea.

One day, when Sam was swimming around, he saw a glimmer of light. Being inquisitive, he decided to take a closer look.

As he entered the shipwreck, all the shes vanished in a ash.

6I think I will look for some friends, Sam decided.

Aww...Sam thought to himself, How I wish

I have some friends to swim with!

Thus, Sam began his ADVENTURE ...

He went around the reefs...

through the caves..

.

Thus, Sam began his ADVENTURE ...

OUCH! cried Sam. He had bumped into Mrs Green Sea Turtle.9

Hello, why do you look so sad?asked Mrs Green Sea Turtle.

Sam replied, I am feeling very LONELY, because I have no friends.

10

I was just about to get some food, said Mrs Green Sea Turtle. Turn that

frown upside down and join me!

DOWNtowards the ocean'sseabed they went.

Mrs Green Sea Turtle started eating the seagrass.

Join me! This seagrass is yummy.

Sam tried eating the seagrass. YUCK!

This seagrass tastes awful!12

I am full now.Lets stay here andtake a nap, said

Mrs Green Sea Turtle.

Sam realised that Mrs Green Sea Turtle was very dierent from him.Sam was very sad and decided to look for another friend.

WHAT? said Sam. I cant stay here,

I wont be able to breathe if I dont swim around.

13

Sam continued on his adventure,when up ahead he saw...

14

... a beautiful CORAL REEF!

Look at the corals and shes living in the coral reef! I think I will be very happy here, said Sam to himself.

Just then, Owen the Octopushovered in front of Sam.

18

Follow me! said Owen, and o they went to hunt for food.

Hello! I am Owen,said the octopus.

Hello, Owen! I am Sam. I am hungry.What do you do to get food around here? Sam asked.

19

Suddenly, Owen hid amongst the corals and disappeared.

WOW! Can I disappear like him too? I think Im going to try, said Sam. 21

However, after many tries, Sam just could not blend in with any of the corals.

22

A crab came along, but whenhe saw Sam, he scurried away

immediately.

Sam!You scared our

lunch away!

23

Sam tried to follow behind but bumped into

the corals instead. OUCH! That hurts! he exclaimed.

Sam was then convinced that they were not alike. He had to look

for another friend again.

Look!More crabs ahead!

Swiftly, Owen squeezed between the corals to

reach for the crabs.

24

Just then, a dark shadow hovered above.Sam looked up and saw something on

the surface of the ocean going by.

Sam started swimming towards the surfaceand saw Dan the Dolphin.

Hello Sam, Mrs Green Sea Turtle told me that you were looking for a friend.

Would you like to join us? asked Dan.

I would love to!said Sam excitedly.

WOW! Let me try that! exclaimed Sam.

Suddenly, Dan swam past Sam and shot right out of

the water.

Dan swam towards the boat and the people on the boat started

waving and taking pictures of Dan.

Sam tried to follow Dan, but he jumped and splashed clumsily back

into the water.

Its alright Sam, said Dan.Follow me to

the boat instead.29

Sam swam up soon after but nobody took pictures of him.

Instead, the boat took o.

Sam was really hurt.People seemed afraid of me.

Maybe I should give up looking for a friend.

31

Just then, he heard a distant cry for help. It sounded like Mrs Green Sea Turtle!

As Sam rushed through the water to investigate, he felt something brush against him. When he

turned to look, he saw another shark that looked exactly like him!

Hi, my name is Tom, you might have heard the cry too! Let's save Mrs Green Sea Turtle!

The two sharks foundMrs Green Sea Turtle trapped

in a net left behind by a sherman.

35

Sam and Tom started to work together. They used their sharp teeth andbit through the net to free Mrs Green Sea Turtle.

Thank you so much Sam and your friend for saving my life!

Sam, you have foundyourself a friend after all!

Yes, I did! said Sam.

But that's not all, I thinkI have found a family too!" said Sam with a big smile.
