Deep in the blue ocean where the water is clear and warm, a tiny sea monkey named Sammy swam with excitement.
Sammy was not a monkey at all, but a small shrimp that liked to play in the sea grass.
Every day, Sammy and his friends would race to the top of the water to greet the morning sun.
But one day, Sammy riends would race to the top of the water to greet the morning sun.
He searched near the rocks, around the corals, and even by the sandy bottom, but they were gone.
Feeling lonely, Sammy decided to ask other sea creatures if they had seen any sea monkeys.
He met a kind fish named Finley who said, 'I saw them swimming toward the big reef!'
Filled with hope, Sammy thanked Finley and hurried off towards the colorful reef.
He searched near the rocks, around the corals, and even by the sandy bottom, but they were gone.
'We're sorry, Sammy! We thought you were hiding too!' said his friends with a smile.
Sammy forgave them, happy to be reunited, and they played until the sun set.
That night, Sammy and his sea monkey friends promised to never lose each other again.
