The Rainbow Fish lived in the deep, blue ocean with all the other fish.
However, the Rainbow Fish was not an ordinary fish. He was covered with
beautiful, shiny scales.
The other fish
loved to look at the Rainbow Fish because they thought he was very
pretty. They always invited the Rainbow Fish to play with them, but he
ignored them and swam away. The Rainbow Fish was not very friendly
to the other fish.
One fish decided
to ask the Rainbow Fish for one of his beautiful scales, but the
Rainbow Fish would not give him one. The other fish heard of what the
Rainbow Fish had done and would not have anything to do with him. The
Rainbow Fish was very lonely and decided to ask the wise octopus for
some advice. The Rainbow Fish really wanted to be friends with all the
other fish.
