Read together
Once upon a time, there was a plankton named Planky who lived in a temperate ocean. Planky was vulnerable because he was small and passive, making him an easy target for predators.
One day, Planky heard that his species was becoming endangered, so he decided to migrate to a new ocean where he could reproduce safely.
On his journey, Planky met a big predator named Fang who was known for eating anything in sight.
Planky tried to hide, but Fang found him and was about to gobble him up when Planky had an idea.
He asked Fang if he would like to help protect plankton so they wouldn't become endangered.
Fang was shocked at the idea, but he agreed and together they started a plankton protection agency.
Thanks to Planky's bravery and quick thinking, his species thrived and Planky became known as the hero of the ocean!
