a book called "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister. Good. Here we go. Far away, in the deep blue sea, lived a

fish

. It is not an ordinary

fish

, but the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean. Its scales were all shades of blue, green, and purple, with shiny silver scales beneath them. Oh it's good. The other fish were amazed by its beauty. They call it Rainbow Fish. "Come,

rainbow

fish," they called. "Come and play with us!" But the

rainbow

fish will simply glide by, proud and silent, its scales shining.

One day a small blue fish follows him. 'Rainbow fish,' he called, 'Wait for me! Please give me one of your shiny scales. They are so wonderful and you have so many.' “Do you want me to give you one of my special scales? Who do you think you are?' shouted the rainbow fish. "Get away from me!" The little blue fish swam in shock. He was so upset that he told all of his friends what happened. From then on, no one will have anything to do with the Rainbow Fish. They turned around as he swam by.

What good were dazzling, shiny scales without anyone to admire them? Now he was the loneliest fish in the entire ocean. One day he told the starfish about his problems. 'I'm very beautiful, why doesn't anyone like me?' "I can't answer that for you," said the starfish. 'But if you go beyond the coral reef into a deep cave, you will find the wise octopus. Maybe she can help you. 'The rainbow fish found the cave. It was very dark inside and he couldn't see anything.

y disappeared in a dark cloud of ink. Give away my scales? My beautiful, shiny scales? Never. How could I be happy without them? Suddenly he felt the light touch of a fin. The little blue fish was back! “Rainbow fish, please don't be angry. I just want a small scale.' The rainbow fish waves.

Just a very small and dazzling scale, he thought. Well, maybe I wouldn't miss just one. The rainbow fish carefully removes the smallest scale and gives it to the minnow. "Oh, thank you very much! Thank you very much!" the little blue fish bubbles playfully as he tucks the shiny scale into his blues. A rather peculiar feeling came over the Rainbow Fish. She watched for a long time as the little blue fish swam back and forth with its new scale in the water. The little blue fish whistled through the ocean with its scales flashing, so it wasn't long before the rainbow fish was surrounded by the other fish.

Everyone wanted a dazzling scale. The rainbow fish divided its scales from left to right. And the more he gave away, the more delighted he felt. As the water around him filled with shiny scales, he finally felt at home among the other fish. Finally, the Rainbow Fish only has a shiny scale left. His most prized possessions were given away and yet he was very happy. "Come, rainbow fish," they shout, "come play with us!" "Here I come!" said the Rainbow Fish and, happy as a splash, swam away to join his friends. So wonderful? It's called 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister.
