Like a Dream

Tom was a cute puffer who lived deep in the sea.  Even though Tom was quite fat, he was the fastest puffer fish around.  He had small eyes and was covered in spikes. He was happy every day.  He loved to eat all different types of little fish from the sea.  He thought they were all very delicious. Tom also had so many friends. They liked to swim through the corals and liked to play hide-and-seek. Tom had a very wonderful and unique skill.  He could become a gigantic poisonous ball. His friends all liked his unique skill and he was very happy with that.

One day, Tom was playing hide-and-seek with his friends and he hid behind a huge black coral. Suddenly, he saw a strange net under him and then it went up very fast. The next thing Tom saw was the inside of an aquarium.
