Fish is very proud of his beautiful scales. The other fish are transfixed by them, and ask him if they can have one, but he haughtily refuses. Fish soon realises he is lonely, and seeks advice from the wise old octopus. The octopus tells him to give his scales away. He agrees, and fish happily swims off with his new friends.
