Shark Debate!

Characters:

• Narrator
• Shelly the Shell
• Finley the Fish
• Ollie the Octopus
• Sammy the Shark

Narrator: Deep in the blue sea, some sea creatures were having a big talk.

Shelly: I don't like sharks!

Finley: Me neither! They are so scary.

Ollie: I think they look like monsters.

Narrator: Sammy the Shark swam up to them. He heard what they said.

Sammy: Why do you say those mean things?

Shelly: Because you have big teeth!

Finley: And you swim so fast right at us!

Ollie: Your eyes are scary and black.

Sammy: But I don't want to scare you. I need to eat to live. I eat small fish that are sick.

Narrator: Shelly the Shell thought about that.

Shelly: So, you help the ocean stay healthy?

Sammy: Yes! I am like a doctor of the sea.

Finley: Wow, I didn't know that.

Ollie: Maybe sharks aren't so bad.

Narrator: The sea creatures learned that day not to judge others too quickly.

Shelly: I'm sorry we called you names, Sammy.

Finley: Can we be friends?

Ollie: Yeah, friends!

Sammy: Sure! Friends!

Narrator: And so, Sammy the Shark and his new friends swam off together, happy as can be.
