The Coral Telescope

In the sparkling blue ocean, Professor Kelp, a clever seahorse with golden-orange skin and amber spectacles, fills his salty notebook with measurements of waves and counts of fish, certain the sea holds many secrets. One morning he joins smooth shells and curly coral into a long, gleaming telescope, and through it he sees a world far larger than he had imagined.

Then the lens reveals a distant reef that looks pale and gray, its coral drooping in cloudy water. Professor Kelp sets out to help, joined by Pearl the manta ray with her basket of sponges, Pip the little clownfish with his magnifying glass and backpack, and Olive the wise sea turtle carrying coral seedlings. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows their patient work and can be read on Online Masal.
