Felix Swims Out to Sea
Felix is a little fish with a big wish: to see what lies beyond the coral reef.
Felix was a little fish who lived in the coral reef. Every day, he swam round the same rocks and the same pink coral, and every day he wondered, ‘What’s out there, beyond the reef?’
One morning, Felix took a deep gulp of water and swam out past the last piece of coral. The sea became blue, and bigger, and deeper. Felix’s fins went flutter-flutter-flutter.
Then a great shadow floated overhead. It was Alba the whale! ‘Hello, little one,’ said Alba, in a voice like a deep, warm hum. ‘Where are you going?’ ‘I’m exploring,’ said Felix, a little bit squeaky.
‘Hop on,’ said Alba. Felix swam up and sat on the whale’s back. They glided over a forest of glittering kelp. Felix’s eyes grew as round as pearls. There was so much to see!
Soon, Isla the octopus waved from a rock. ‘Don’t go too far!’ called Isla. ‘It’s nearly teatime!’ Felix suddenly noticed a little rumble in his tummy. He missed his home.
Alba gave Felix a ride all the way back to the reef. ‘Thank you,’ said Felix. ‘I saw so many wonders.’ ‘You can see more tomorrow,’ said Alba. And Felix swam home to sleep in his cosy coral bed.
