Don't be Selfish, Be a Rainbow Fish

This is Thaleia's flavor of the week. A story about a beautiful fish with special shiny scales. Proud and protective of his own beauty, he was avoided by all the other fishes. Lonely, he approached an starfish who asked him to consult an octopus. The octopus advised him to give away his shiny scales to make friends. He did so. And in the end, though he was not as beautiful anymore, he was the happiest fish in the sea he won many friends to play with. Many argue that the book is not about learing to share.. but more about not letting your posessions define you.., and that being pretty does not help you in any way. I think I'm fine with the book..well...it has a happy ending and Thaleia loves to look at those shiny scales on the fishes.
