Summary
Once upon a time in the ocean, there was a little fish named Finley who had just moved to a new school of fish. Finley was nervous because he didn't look like the other fish in his new school. His scales were a different color and he was missing a fin. Finley tried his best to fit in with the other fish, but no matter what he did, he felt like he didn't belong. One day, Finley decided to explore the ocean and see if there were other schools of fish that he’d feel like he fit in. He swam through the coral reef and met a school of brightly colored fish. They were intrigued by Finley's missing fin and asked him to swim with them for the day. But Finley realized that he couldn’t keep up with the bright colored fish, they were too fast! He didn’t like that he felt left behind. Next, Finley met a school of fish that were all the same color as him. But they were very serious and didn't like to have fun. Finley found out a new thing about himself that day when he couldn’t make any of them laugh with his jokes. Making his friends laugh makes him smile, so he didn’t think this school was right for him. Finally, Finley met a school of fish that were all different colors and sizes. They welcomed Finley with open fins and showed him all the fun things they liked to do. Finley realized that he didn't have to be like everyone else to fit in. He just needed to find the right school of fish who would accept him for who he was. From that day on, Finley swam with his new friends and had the best time of his life. He realized that being different was something to be proud of and that he had a special place in the ocean, just like everyone else. The end.
