The Dolphin's Octopus Friend

In a bright blue sea, a cheerful dolphin named Splash spends her days leaping through the waves and exploring the ocean's wonders. One morning she swims farther than ever before and finds a hidden reef glowing with pink, purple and gold coral, where tiny fish dart about like living rainbows. Behind a tall coral tower, a shy little octopus named Inky creeps out from behind a rock, eight tentacles wiggling nervously and a small shell puzzle piece held in one arm. Inky admits it is not very brave, and Splash offers to be brave enough for both of them as the two new friends set off together.

Their exploring brings them to a thick wall of twisted seaweed known as the maze, which hides the way home but opens only for those who can solve it. Splash remembers patterns, recalling that the coral on the left was pink and on the right purple, while Inky proves clever at puzzles and slides a blue stone into place to reveal a hidden door. Written by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL for young children and for anyone reading aloud to them, this gentle underwater tale about trust and teamwork can be read on Masal İzle.
