Rainbow Fish is a beautiful fish with shiny scales. All the other fish in the sea admire Rainbow Fish. The little blue fish asked Rainbow to share one of his shiny scales. Rainbow Fish refused and swam away.

    The little blue fish was so upset he told the other fish that Rainbow Fish was not nice. The other fish ignored Rainbow Fish which hurt his feelings. Rainbow Fish swam by himself with noone to play with. He was distraught so he went to talk to Mr. Octopus who told him to share one shiny scale with another fish.

    Rainbow Fish was not sure about sharing his shiny scale. He though and thought about what the wise octopus had to say. He shared a shiny scale and found out how happy it made him. Rainbow fish found out that sharing can be fun and that it hurts everyone's feeling when he was not nice.
