In an ocean far far away, there lived a fish, Finky Fanny. She always stayed in her home.
She never really liked to be in the pack.
She never smiled. She didn’t have friends too. Other fishes thought of her as rude. But she was just really shy.
Finky Fanny loved to sing. She sang the most beautiful tunes.
The fishes in the ocean decided to have a concert. All the fishes had to show their talent.
Clown Fish said yes. He loved making funny faces.
Goldy Fish said yes. She loved to dance.
Red Drum Fish said yes. He loved playing drums.
Sea Bass Fish said yes. She loved playing guitar.
Who will sing? Everyone thought.
Finky Fanny was quiet. She was too shy to say yes.
The other fishes came near her and said – you can do it!
Finky Fish smiled and said the sweetest yes!
In the concert, all the fishes put their best show.
Finky Fanny sang the most melodious song that day. She wasn’t shy, afterall.
