Marley the Clownfish By: Hannah and Ally

It was a spectacularly sunny day in the coral reefs. Marley, the clownfish, woke up in a sea anemone and said, “ Thank you for protecting me and giving me a home.”

“No problem, you don’t bother me like other fish,” said the sea anemone. So Marley swam away. He saw a goby fish and a snapping shrimp as they were hunting together. He knew how the snapping shrimp made a burrow and the goby fish got to live in it if she went hunting with the shrimp to sense when danger is coming. All of a sudden the goby fish gave off a warning by flipping her fin and they ran off into the burrow together. Marley just then knew what the danger was. A shark caught a small fish and was starting to eat it.

“Help!” Screamed he small fish.

“Oh snap-diggity-dog,” said Marley. The shark heard Marley, swallowed the small fish, and started chasing after Marley. Marley swam as fast as he could to his sea anemone friend and hid. The shark followed Marley and tried to attack him while he was in the sea anemone, but the sea anemone shocked the shark. The shark was so confused on what just happened. The shark was laying on the bottom of the floor for a long time. A tapeworm came along, crawled into the shark, and stared eating the sharks insides because it thought the shark was dead.The shark wasn't dead he woke up he started to swim away. Marley swam back to his friend, the sea anemone, and they gave each other a high-five!

A few days pasted and Marley was swimming by himself out in the ocean when he saw the shark that was chasing him was laying on the bottom of the floor. Marley went down to see what was the matter and the shark replied I have a tapeworm in me. Marley said, “Come on we are going to the Shark Hospital.” So Marley strapped him to the back of his fish mobile and started driving away. When they got their Marley told the doctors what happened and the fixed it right away. Marley saved the sharks life and the shark promised to become a vegetarian and never eat another fish again and they became best friends.
