Once upon a time, there was a sandcrab named Sam who lived on a reef in the ocean. One day, while exploring the reef, Sam noticed that the rate of the water was getting faster and faster. Sam realized that a screw from a nearby ship had gotten loose and was causing the water to flow faster.

Being the clever sandcrab that he was, Sam came up with a plan to fix the problem. He gathered other creatures from the reef and together they worked to remove the screw and repair the damage it had caused.

Thanks to their hard work, the reef was restored to its peaceful state and all the creatures were happy once again. From that day forward, Sam became known as the hero of the reef and was loved by all. The end.
