Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little fish named Finley who lived in the ocean. Finley was always eager to help others and do favors for his friends.
One day, he came across a big and fierce looking shark who was begging for help. The shark had gotten its jaws stuck in a fishing net and couldn't free itself. Finley, being the helpful fish he was, offered to assist the shark.
Despite the shark's intimidating appearance, Finley bravely swam over and pried open the shark's jaws, freeing it from the net.
The grateful shark thanked Finley and swam away. From that day on, the two became good friends, and Finley learned that sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
