Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Shored Stories for Kids!

I hope you guys are doing really well, I'm Lucy, your host and today I'll be reading

you an amazing story to keep you company on your car trips or before going to bed or just

if you have downtime during the day and you want to listen to amazing stories.

Now our first story, today comes from Tate, now Tate is 5 years old and he lives in Melbourne,

Australia and he loves listening to the podcast every morning and he would like a story

about an underwater kindergarten with a squid who is worried about his first day of school.

That's a really cool idea Tate, thank you and I hope that you love the story.

Tate was a squid, he was 5 years old and he lived under the ocean with all the other ocean life.

Now, let me tell you something about the ocean, it's huge, no I mean really, really huge

and it's full of weird and wonderful sea life, you have starfish, jellyfish, dolphins, whales,

catfish, sea horses, sharks, tuna, octopus, can you think of any more?

Because you name it, it lives in the ocean, but it's not just fish that live under the sea.

There is also my life too, mermaids and merman, half fish, half human,

swimming around, living their lives just like we do.

And the wonderful thing about Murf folk is that they can breathe underwater.

That's right, how amazing is that and not only that, they can talk too and laugh and sing underwater too.

Now, back to Tate, the squid.

Tate was a very beautiful bright pink color, the glowed vibrantly all over.

He had always been like this since birth, but he felt very shy about being such a bright color.

He wished he could be blue or green or even black, but any color but pink.

Pink was a girl's color, right?
