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!
