How the Jellyfish lost his bones.

Dedicated to Thomas in Australia whose family supporters on Patreon.

Hello, this is Johnna.

I don't know about you, but I'm not very keen on Jellyfish.

When I'm splashing about in the sea, I wouldn't like to bump into one of them, in case it

stings me with its tentacles.

But on the other hand, if you can get a good look at the Jellyfish in an aquarium, you

can see that they are in fact a very interesting looking creature.

They're translucent, which means that the light can shine through them.

Some Jellyfish even produce their own light, like lamps in the sea.

And did you know that a Jellyfish has no brain, heart, bones or eyes.

But it does have a big mouth to eat its food.

And it squirts water out of its mouth to propel it forward like a jet.

So those are a few facts about the amazing Jellyfish.

What I am going to tell you now is an old folktale from Japan that explains how the Jellyfish

came to be the way he is now.

Obviously, it's just a story.

But as we all know here on StoryNory, stories can be just as fun as facts.

But upon a time, the Jellyfish was a very handsome fellow.

His appearance was beautiful and round as the full moon.

He had glittering scales and fins and a tail as other fishes have.

But he had more than these.
