Once upon a time, there was a canal in the middle of a big ocean. The canal was so deep that it had its own waterfall, called a cataract. A little fish lived in the canal and wanted to explore more of the ocean. So one day, he swam out of the canal and into a channel, where he saw all sorts of beautiful coral. The fish was amazed by the vibrant colors and different shapes of the coral. He also met new friends, like crabs and starfish, who lived among the coral. The little fish had a wonderful time discovering the wonders of the ocean. He returned to the canal, grateful for his adventures and happy to call it home.

Reflections

• What was the little fish’s home in the story?
• Where did the little fish go for his adventure?
• What did the little fish see during his adventure?
• Who did the little fish meet during his adventure?
• Why was the little fish grateful at the end of his adventure?
