Read the story Easy English
Dolly was a bright blue dolphin who lived in the deep ocean. Her body shined with a soft glowing light. One morning, Dolly woke up and stretched her fins. Her tummy made a loud rumble sound because she was very hungry. Dolly swam slowly through the clear blue water, looking left and right for yummy food. She swam past a big rock and green water plants, but she found no food there.
Dolly swam a little faster because her tummy kept rumbling. Suddenly, she saw a big yellow fish swimming by. Dolly liked small fish, so she let the big yellow fish go. She swam deeper down where the ocean water was darker. Her blue glow shined bright in the dark water. Soon, Dolly saw tiny flashing lights in front of her. It was a school of small shiny fish swimming together.
Dolly opened her mouth happily and ate the small shiny fish. She munched on the tasty fish until her tummy felt nice and full. With no more rumbling in her tummy, Dolly felt happy and strong. She wiggled her tail, swam in joyful circles, and played in the cool water. When the sun began to set, Dolly found a soft spot, closed her eyes, and dreamed of yummy fish.
