Puffer was blowing bubbles. “That looks fun!” laughed Smiley Shark. But Puffer blew himself up into a big spiky ball and pricked poor Smiley Shark on the nose.

The only thing Smiley Shark could do was SMILE! “Aahhhh!” screamed the fisherman dropping his heavy net into the waves. “I’m getting out of here,” he cried.

“Hurray!” cheered the fish. “We are safe! Thank you, Smiley Shark.” Now, far away in a deep rolling ocean, lived Smiley Shark and all his friends!
