**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

1. One sunny day, Dolphin, Turtle, Clownfish, and Starfish were playing hide and seek in the ocean. Starfish was the seeker, and they all hid in different places. Starfish found Turtle and Clownfish quickly, but the Dolphin was nowhere to be seen! 2. Dolphin couldn’t be found anywhere! The friends began to worry. Just as they were about to give up, a pufferfish named Nabil swam over, out of breath. “I saw a whale near Dolphin!” Nabil said. “I think the whale might have eaten him!” 3. The friends swam quickly to where Nabil had seen Dolphin. To their surprise, they found Dolphin chatting happily with a baby whale. Scene 5: Suddenly, Starfish felt dizzy and fainted from the pollution in the water. “Starfish! Wake up!” cried Turtle, Clownfish, Dolphin, and the baby whale. “I know a healer who can help!” Clownfish said. “Let’s go to their house!” Scene 6: The friends swam quickly to the healer’s house. “Hello, are you home?” they called. The healer opened the door. “What’s wrong, little ones?” he asked kindly. “Please help! Starfish is poisoned from the plastic in the ocean,” said Turtle. The healer let them in and treated Starfish, who soon woke up. “Thank you for saving me,” Starfish said gratefully. The healer said, “This is happening because people are careless. They throw trash everywhere without thinking about the consequences. The ocean is polluted, coral reefs are dying, and fish are losing their homes. If people don’t change, they will hurt themselves too.” Scene 7: As they swam back home, they were amazed to see that the ocean was clean again! The humans had worked together to pick up the trash and clean the ocean! “Wow, the ocean is beautiful again!” Dolphin exclaimed. “There are still humans who care about the environment,” Clownfish said happily. “Thank you, kind humans!” they all cheered. And from that day on, the ocean stayed clean and beautiful!
