Read the story Easy English
In a shining sea full of silver fish lived a small shark named Sammy. Sammy was soft-hearted and had a sweet smile. Unlike other sharks, he did not like to scare or chase other animals. Some sea animals said sharks should be strong and scary, calling Sammy too shy. Sammy felt sad and unsure. He swam near the sandy shore and watched the sparkling water, wishing to be strong in his own way.
One stormy night, the ocean became wild with strong waves. A school of small fish was swept away and separated in the dark water. The fish were scared and could not find a safe place to hide. Sammy saw the struggling fish and wanted to help them. He swam closer and told them softly to stay close to him. His gentle smile helped the scared fish trust him.
Sammy swam steadily through the storm, using his strong body to shield the fish. He guided them safely to a secret sea cave where the water was quiet. When the storm stopped, the fish smiled and thanked Sammy for saving them. Sammy felt proud of his caring heart. From that day on, the sea animals trusted Sammy and knew that strength can be gentle.
