Glowy and the Friend Adventure
by 9-year-old Clive and 7-year-old Silas, California
Once there was a whale named Glowy. He lived in a luxury cave mansion. He was always happy eating krill pot roasts and playing his Fish Station 4 on his TV. One day Glowy was cleaning his ginormous bathtub when he suddenly felt too small in his mansion. He walked through every room but he felt something was missing. “A friend! That’s what I need! A friend to share my mansion with me,” He said to himself. He quickly ate his krill flakes and swam out of the double doors. Soon he found a sea urchin on a rock. “Would you like to be my friend?” Asked Glowy. “Eek!” Said the sea urchin. He was scared of Glowy’s size. “Oh well,” thought Glowy, and he swam away. Then he found a fish. “Will you be my friend?” Asked Glowy. “Eek!” said the fish. He was afraid of Glowy’s booming voice. “This is harder than I thought,” said Glowy. Now he was swimming toward arctic waters. Then he found a narwhal. “Can you be my friend?” Asked Glowy. “Sure” said the narwhal and they lived happily ever after.
