True Colors Shine Through

by: Mrs. Pekkala

Once upon a time there lived a fish under the sea. His name was Al. Al had a big problem. Al was growing up, but didn't want to at all. Al loved his scales and he knew that as he got older they would lose their brillant colors. One day Al swam to the surface to chat with Dr. Utas about his problem. Dr. Utas told Al that it was time for him to grow up and allow his colors to change. Al was really upset by the news. But Dr. Utas gave Al some very important information. He told him that it doesn't matter what color your scales are, it's what is on the inside that really matters. Al felt his fins begin to tingle and he watched as his colors slowly changed. Before he knew it, Al looked like the rest of his family... but only from the outside. Everyone knew that Al was still beautifully colored on the inside. THE END!
