The Rainbow Fish had become the loneliest fish in the entire ocean. One day, the Rainbow Fish shared his troubles with the wise old starfish. "I'm truly beautiful," he said. "So why doesn't anyone like me?" The starfish replied, "I don't have an answer for that. But if you go to the deep cave behind the coral reef, you might find Octopus. Perhaps she can help you." Octopus spoke in a deep, wise voice: "I've been waiting for you. The waves have already told me your story. I will help you. Give one of your scales to each of the other fish. You may no longer be the most beautiful fish in the sea, but you will be so much happier than you are now." --- Excerpt from the story
