In the deep blue ocean, there lived a beautiful little fish named Coral. She had scales that sparkled like tiny rainbows, with every color you could imagine—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

But Coral had a secret. Even though she was a fish, she was scared of swimming in the deep water! She only stayed in the shallow, sunny parts near the surface where she could see everything.

One day, Coral’s best friend Finley the seahorse said, “Come explore the coral reef with me! It’s so beautiful down there.” But Coral shook her head. “It’s too deep and dark. I’m staying here.”

That afternoon, a strong current swept Finley away, deeper into the ocean. “Help!” he called. Coral was frightened, but Finley was her friend. She had to be brave.

Coral took a deep breath and swam down, down, down into the deeper water. At first it felt dark and scary.

But then something magical happened—her rainbow scales began to glow! They lit up the water around her like a sparkly lantern.

“I can see!” Coral said with surprise. She followed her own glowing light until she found Finley tangled in some seaweed. She carefully freed him with her fins.

As they swam back together, Coral looked around. The deep water wasn’t scary anymore—it was actually full of amazing things! There were friendly turtles, swaying sea plants, and schools of fish dancing together.

“You were brave,” said Finley. “And your light helped us both!”

Coral learned that sometimes the things we’re afraid of turn out to be wonderful adventures. And she discovered she was braver than she ever knew.
