Ravi the Ray Finds Friends

Ravi the manta ray lived in the big, blue sea. He was a kind ray, but he was lonely. Ravi wanted to make friends, but he didn't know how.

One sunny day, Ravi saw a group of small, colorful fish. They were playing near a coral reef. Ravi swam closer and said, "Hello! My name is Ravi."

The little fish looked at Ravi with big eyes. One of them, a yellow fish named Sunny, swam forward. "Hello, Ravi! I'm Sunny, and these are my friends: Coral, Bubbles, and Finny."

Ravi was so happy! "Can I play with you?" he asked.

"Of course!" said Coral. "We are playing hide-and-seek. Do you want to play too?"

Ravi had never played hide-and-seek before, but he wanted to try. He smiled wide. "Yes, please!"

Sunny told Ravi the rules. Ravi closed his eyes and counted to ten. The little fish swam away to hide behind the coral.

Ravi opened his eyes and started to look for his new friends. He looked behind big rocks and under the seaweed. Soon, he found Bubbles and Finny.

"I found you!" Ravi said with a laugh.

Now, Ravi and the little fish looked for Sunny and Coral. They looked high and low. At last, they found them hiding in a big shell.

"We found you!" they all shouted together. Ravi was so happy. He had made new friends, and they all played together until the sun went down. Ravi was not lonely anymore. He knew he would always have his friends to play with in the big, blue sea.
