NAME:

the octavian octopus

Whenever Octaviano went out there, swimming among the algae, his mother Octavia was very worried, because there were many dangers in the sea.
Suddenly, a huge, scary fish came out so fast from behind some algae that Octaviano had no time to hide, and he was very scared. So, Octaviano's mom swam very quickly and released some ink that darkened the water around it. Octopuses always drop these paints to paralyze enemies.

So the huge fish ran out of action, and didn't go after Octaviano and his mother. When they thought they were free, a fishing net appeared and carried them both, along with several small fish.
But thankfully that net had a hole and Octaviano and his mother were able to get out. How lucky to be able to return home safe and sound. Their house was among the rocks, close to the corals.
Octaviano learned a very difficult lesson: While he was little, he could never leave the house without the company of his mother Octavia. Always close to his mother, Octaviano went to play with his little friends, because everything seemed to be calm. What a joy!
