We hear about rainbow. We hear about fish too. Have you heard about rainbow fish?
A long way out in the deep blue sea there lived a fish. He was not just an ordinary fish, but the most beautiful fish in the ocean. His scales were blue, green and purple, with sparkling silver scales among them. Other fish were amazed at his beauty. They called him Rainbow Fish. They wanted to play with the Rainbow Fish, but he would just glide past. One day, a little fish asked the Rainbow Fish to give him one of his shiny scales because they were so wonderful. However, the Rainbow Fish did not give his scale to the little fish. He shouted at the little fish rudely. From then on, no one would like to play with him. The Rainbow fish felt upset and lonely. Later, he met the octopus who advised him to give a glittering scale to each of the other fish. Then, the Rainbow fish accepted the octopus’ suggestion. Finally, the Rainbow Fish had only one shining scale left. Was he happy or unhappy?
