The mains character are a rainbow fish and a blue fish.
The story takes place in the ocean.
The blue fish asks the rainbow fish for scales.
The rainbow fish does not want to give up his scales.
Gavin told me that the rainbow fish was about a little blue fish that wanted some of the rainbow fishes scales because they looked nice. The rainbow fish would not let him so the little blue fish went and told his friends and they were mean to the rainbow fish, so he went to the star fish for advice and the star fish sent him to the octopus. The octopus told him to share and so he gave the blue fish one of his scales and everyone was happy. The end!!
The rainbow fish was swimming and the blue fish asked him if he could have one of his shiny scales and the rainbow fish said no. The rainbow fish went to the starfish and asked him why no one liked him and the starfish told him to go see the wise octopus. The wise octopus said he was waiting for rainbow fish and he said give a shiny scale to them and you will be happy. Rainbow fish gave a shiny scale to the blue fish and then other fish wanted one too and he gave all his shiny scales away except one, his favorite one. And he was happy.
The Rainbow fish
The rainbow fish liked his shiny scales. He was a mean fish because he wouldn’t share any of his shiny scales. The rainbow fish did not have any friends because he thought he was so beautiful. He went to a starfish and asked him if he was beautiful. The starfish told the rainbow fish he couldn’t help him. But the starfish gave the rainbow fish some advise. He told the rainbow fish that there was an octopus that knows everything and that maybe she could help the rainbow fish. The rainbow fish went to the octopus’ cave. He saw two eyes peeking out at him. The octopus pop out and said ” The waves told me your story and here is my advise. You have to give away your scales to every fish.” The rainbow fish said, ” give away my shiny scales? Never! But the octopus shot ink out so she could disappear. Then the rainbow fish felt a little fin. It was blue fish. Blue fish just wanted one tiny scale. The rainbow fish gave the blue fish the scale. Then all the fish wanted a scale. The rainbow fish gave each fish one of his shiny scales. He only had one shiny scale left. He kept that one for himself. Then all the fish be America his friends and he was happy.
The End!

There was a fish that was so colorful and sparkly that everyone called him the rainbow fish because he had beautiful scales. The other fish in the water always asked the rainbow fish to play but he was rude and ignored them until one day a little blue fish went after him and asked if he could have one of the beautiful sparkly scales. The rainbow fish was mean and said “no”, so the little blue fish went and told all his friends and they all would not talk or play with the rainbow fish anymore. The rainbow fish would not share so no one wanted to be his friend so now he was very lonely and sad. He asked a star fish why no one wanted to be his friend but the star fish did not know and told him to go see the wise octopus. The octopus told him to give away his sparkly scales to all the fish so he can be happy and not beautiful. The rainbow fish was not sure about this but that little blue fish came back and asked again for a sparkly scale and the rainbow fish gave him one and then saw how happy he was. All the other fish came and asked for a sparkly scale and then everyone had one. At the end the rainbow fish only had one sparkly scale left but he was happy to be with his friends.
There was a Rainbow fish that had a shiny scales, he did not want to give the other fishes any of his shiny scales. One day a little blue fish came to him and asked him for one shiny scale, but the Rainbow fish told him no, I do not want to give you any of my shiny scales. The Rainbow fish saw the other fishes playing together he went to play with them, but all the fishes ran a way from him, because they did not want to play with him. So the Rainbow fish went to the star fish and told him that the other fishes did not want to play with him, the stare fish told the Rainbow fish that he cannot answer his question. And asked him to go to the cave were the Octopus because he knows a lot. So the Rainbow fish went to the cave and saw the Octopus and told him that the other fishes did not want to play with him. So the Octopus told him that because you are not sharing your shiny scales with them. Then the Rainbow fish went home, and then the little blue fish came back to the Rainbow fish and asked him again for a shiny scale. The Rainbow fish told him let me think, then he decided to share his shiny scales with the other fishes and he gave one to the blue fish and the Rainbow fish left with only one shiny scale. At the end all the fishes were playing with the rainbow fish after he shared his shiny scales.
