Rainbow Fish

The Rainbow Fish tells the story of the most beautiful fish in the sea, whose scales shimmer in all the colors of the rainbow. He is admired by all the underwater creatures, who invite him to come play with them. But he is not interested in joining them. One day, a small blue fish asks for one of his scales, but the Rainbow Fish refuses to share. When he is ostracized by all the other fish, his scales begin to mean less to him with no one to admire them. Taking the advice of a clever octopus, the Rainbow Fish gives all his scales away, one by one, until he is left with only one. The more he shares, the happier he becomes. Surrounded by many fish, each with one iridescent scale, the Rainbow Fish now no longer looked different, and he at last feels at home among the other fish.
