Read the story Easy English
Finley was a gentle blue seal who lived in the big blue ocean. The ocean water was warm and clear with colorful plants on the seabed. Finley loved swimming slowly and waving his flippers at his friends. One sunny day, Finley saw tiny shiny baby fish playing near a big rock. The little fish giggled as they swam around. Suddenly, a big dark shadow appeared over the water. A big hungry shark was swimming closer to them.
The frightened baby fish tried to hide behind a green plant, but the plant was too small. Finley knew he had to help his tiny friends right away. Finley swam toward the big shark and called hello to him. Finley wiggled his tail and pointed to a big cave nearby. The shark felt curious and followed Finley to look inside the pretty cave. Finley made a funny face, and the shark giggled and swam inside.
While the shark was inside the cave, Finley quickly swam back to the little fish. He whispered to them to swim fast to the big coral. The baby fish swam quickly and hid safely inside the big coral reef. Finley smiled a big happy smile because all his friends were safe. Everyone was happy, and Finley swam home slowly through the blue water.
