One sunny day in the ocean, Jelly, a small jellyfish, floated along. "Oh no! What's that?" Jelly cried. A plastic bag danced in the water, swirling and tempting. Jelly was scared. "I will be trapped!"
The plastic bag twirled closer. Jelly trembled, but she took a deep breath. "I need to think!" she said to herself. The ocean friends swam by. Turtle whispered, "Don't worry, Jelly! Just swim!"
Jelly gathered her courage. "Okay!" she cheered. She swam quickly and tried to dodge the bag. But it was slippery and shiny. How would she escape?
Jelly took a big jump! "Whoosh!" She swam up and over the bag. "Ha! I did it!" she laughed. But the bag swooped and swirled again, still chasing her.
Just then, a wise old octopus arrived. "Little Jelly, listen! You must think like me! Use your arms!" he said. Jelly looked at the octopus's eight arms. "I can do that!"
She stretched her tentacles wide. As the bag came close, she waved her arms. "Go away, plastic bag!" she shouted. The bag didn’t listen.
Jelly wiggled and wriggled, her light shining bright. "I won't give up!" she called. The bag twisted around her, but Jelly giggled, hoping to confuse it.
Finally, with a big flick, Jelly spun and flopped! The plastic bag flew away, floating off into the deep sea. "Hooray!" cheered Jelly, feeling so brave!
Jelly swam joyfully, and all her friends danced around her. "You did it, Jelly! You're so brave, just like a hero!" Turtle said.
From that day on, Jelly knew she could face her fears. She learned not to be scared of the unknown. "With friends and courage, I can do anything!"
