The Seahorse Carousel

In Coral Square, a tiny carousel no larger than a bathtub appears one morning, its golden seahorses glinting in the water. The lead seahorse, Pip, wears a red harness with a silver bell and carries young riders through a tunnel of bubbles toward the Bright Garden, where glowing anemones and dancing shrimp await. The first to climb aboard is Lila, a hermit crab with a pink spiral shell and a seaweed satchel, and news of her ride soon spreads among the little fish and crabs of the square.

Other sea creatures take their turn, including Finn, a round pufferfish in a striped scarf who puffs up with delight, while Granny Coral, an old sea turtle wearing a string of tiny shells, watches from her rock and notes that every ride makes a new friendship. When the carousel shudders and its central wheel stops turning, Pip, Lila, Finn and Granny Coral set to work together. Written by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, this gentle tale can be read on Online Masal and celebrates friendship, patience and the small treasures gathered along the way.
