Hi, welcome to my channel. Today I will be reading to you The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Fishster.
A long way out in the deep blue sea, there lived a fish. Not just an ordinary fish,
but the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean. His scales were every shade of blue
with sparkling silver scales among them. Other fish were amazed at his beauty.
They called him Rainbow Fish. Come on, Rainbow Fish, they would call. Come and play with us,
for Rainbow Fish would just glide past, proud and silent, letting his scales shimmer.
One day, a little blue fish followed after 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.
You want me to give you one of my special scales? Who do you think you are? cried the Rainbow Fish.
Get away from me. Shocked, the little blue fish swam away. He was so upset. He told all his friends
what had happened. From then on, no one would have anything to do with the Rainbow Fish.
They turned away when he swam by. What good were the dazzling, shimmering scales
with no one to admire them? Now he was the loneliest fish in the entire ocean.
One day, he poured out his troubles to the starfish. I really am beautiful. Why doesn't
anybody like me? I can't answer that for you, said the starfish. But if you go beyond the coral reef
to a deep cave, you will find the wise octopus. Maybe she can help you.
Rainbow Fish found the cave. It was very dark inside, and he couldn't see anything.
Then suddenly, two eyes caught him in their glare, and the octopus emerged from the darkness.
I have been waiting for you, said the octopus with a deep voice.
The waves have told me your story. This is my advice. Give a glittering scale to each of the
other fish. You will no longer be the most beautiful fish in the sea, but you will discover
how to be happy. I can't, the Rainbow Fish started to say, but the octopus had already
disappeared into a dark cloud of ink. Give away my scales, my beautiful, shiny scales.
Never! How can I ever 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 one little
scale. The Rainbow Fish wavered. Only one very, very small shimmery scale, he thought.
Well, maybe I wouldn't miss just one. Carefully, the Rainbow Fish pulled out the smallest scale
and gave it to the little fish. Thank you. Thank you very much. The little blue fish
bubbled playfully as he tucked the shiny scale in among his blue ones. A rather peculiar feeling
came over the Rainbow Fish. For a long time, he watched the little blue fish swim back and forth
with his new scale glaring in the water. The little blue fish whizzed through the ocean
with his scale flashing, so it didn't take long before the Rainbow Fish was surrounded by the
other fish. Everyone wanted a glittering scale. The Rainbow Fish shared his scales left and right,
and the more he gave away, the more delighted he became. With the water around him filled
with glimmering scales, he at last fell at home among the other fish. Finally, the Rainbow Fish
had only one shining scale left. His most prized possessions has been given away, yet he was very
happy. Come on, Rainbow Fish, they called. Come and play with us. Here I come, said the Rainbow Fish,
and happy as a splash, he swam off to join his friends. The end. Thanks for watching Pink Pygmy,
and stay tuned for more videos. Bye!
