Stella the Starfish Learns to Ride

On a sunny beach by the sparkling sea, Stella the starfish wanted to ride a bike so free. She wiggled and wobbled, she tried and she tried, with her five little arms, she couldn't decide.

On the sandy beach, a happy starfish named Happy starfish with colorful skin and sparkling blue eyes with a colorful bike, trying to balance, with seagulls flying overhead.

With a splash and a plop, she fell on her top, but she giggled and wiggled and refused to stop. 'I can do it, I know I can!' she cried, as she wiggled and wobbled with the bike by her side.
