Finn's Big Climb

Finn was a little fish. He lived in a big blue sea. Finn had a big dream. He wanted to climb Mount Everest!

The other fish laughed. "Fish can't climb mountains!" they said.

But Finn didn't listen. He was ready to try. He put on a special helmet with water in it so he could breathe. He packed a snack for the long trip and grabbed his climbing stick.

Finn swam far away from the sea. He found Mount Everest. It was very tall and covered in snow.

Up, up, up Finn climbed. It was hard work. He slipped and slid, but he did not give up. Finally, Finn got to the top of Mount Everest!

He looked all around. "I did it!" he cheered. He smiled a big fishy smile. Finn was the first fish to climb a mountain!

Now all the other fish know that even little fish can do big things.
