Oliver the Octopus Finds a Friend

Once upon a time, there was a little octopus named Oliver. Oliver lived in the big blue ocean with all his fishy friends. But even though he had lots of fishy friends, Oliver felt a little lonely. He wanted someone to play with and share his adventures.

One sunny day, as Oliver was exploring a coral reef, he spotted a small seahorse named Sally. Sally was a shy seahorse, just like Oliver. They both had big smiles on their faces when they saw each other! Oliver and Sally quickly became the best of friends.

Oliver and Sally had so much fun together. They explored hidden caves, raced around the ocean, and even had picnics with seaweed sandwiches. They laughed and played all day long, never feeling lonely anymore.
