The Grumble Fish

Down in bright, busy Coral City — where fish dart like confetti and bubbles rise like silver moons — lives a small fish named Fin, and Fin is busy grumbling. That reef is shinier than mine! Those bubbles are bigger than mine! She swims in cross circles, counting all she doesn't have, never once looking at her own cozy home. Then the water starts to swirl, and WHOOSH — a wild storm-current roars through the city. What will be left when it's over, and who will come? Find out on MoonNest.

A wide establishing shot of a colorful underwater coral city — schools of bright fish swarm past glowing coral towers and rising bubbles, with little Fin frowning in the foreground.

Down in the bright Coral City, where fish darted like confetti and bubbles rose like little silver moons, lived a small fish named Fin. The whole reef sparkled — but Fin was busy grumbling.

A medium shot — Fin stares enviously at a tall glowing neighbor reef and a snail's big shimmering bubbles, while her own modest little coral nook waits behind her, unnoticed.

That reef is shinier than mine, Fin grumbled at her neighbor's coral. Those bubbles are bigger than mine, she huffed at the bubble-snails. Everyone has something better, she sighed — and never once looked at her own cozy little home.
