One sunny morning, Finley the fish woke up excited. Today, he would count his friends in the ocean.

Finley swam out of his cozy coral cave and found Ellie, the bright yellow fish, playing in the bubbles.

After saying hello to Ellie, Finley spotted two blue fish. Theo and Cleo were spinning in the water.

Near a shipwreck, three green fish appeared! They were Ziggy, Taggy, and Miggy, telling jokes.

As he swam further, Finley found four red fish. They were quietly reading storybooks under a seashell.

Further on, in the colorful reef, Finley saw five purple fish. They danced in a circle, bubbles everywhere!

Finley laughed and joined the dance. The sea was full of friends: one, two, three, four, five!

After dancing, Finley and his friends played hide and seek among the rainbow corals and bright sea plants.

Ellie was the best at finding everyone. 'You're good at this,' said Finley. Ellie smiled brightly.

As the day turned to dusk, the fish gathered to listen to Finley's stories of the day's adventure.

Tired after a long day of play, they watched the stars appear above the gentle waves.

With a final yawn, Finley and his friends wished each other good night, eager for tomorrow's adventures.
