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