Read together

Once upon a time, there was a thin fish named Fin who lived in the ocean. He always had a big grin on his face and loved to play pranks on his friends. One day, he saw a bin floating in the water and had an idea. He swam up to it and stuck his chin over the edge, pretending to be stuck. His skin turned red from holding his breath, but he kept his grin on. As his friends swam by, he called out for help. They tried to push him out but couldn't get him unstuck. Suddenly, Fin burst out laughing and swam away. The friends were so surprised that they swam into a pin that was sticking out of the bin and got poked. They started to chase after Fin, who continued to swim with a big grin on his face. But, just as they caught him, he disappeared into a sin. And, from that day on, whenever someone got into trouble, they would say "Don't swim into a sin like Fin!" The end.
