     Once upon a time in an ocean far, far, away, there was a 

fish kingdom where red seahorses, blue seahorses and colorful 

sea creatures lived in peace.

     The red seahorses were the kings, queens, nobility, and 

clergy of the kingdom. The blue seahorses were the rising 

middle class or bourgeoisie. The colorful sea creatures were 

the lower class or peasants of the kingdom. 

     The peace did not last long because the red seahorses did 

not treat the other creatures fairly.   Unhappiness spread across 

the reef.

     This is where the revolution first started and the ideas of 

change started to show. 

     The colorful sea creatures lived a very hard life. Their 

households were cramped and poorly built. They did not 

have enough to eat and often became sick. They paid the 

red seahorse government a lot of money in taxes.  

       The blue seahorses lived much better lives than the 

colorful sea creatures.    The blue seahorses were an 

educated working class that had earned their fortunes. In 

fact, some of them had more money than the red 

seahorses. Some blue seahorses lived in nicer homes than 

the red seahorses. The blue seahorses were able to eat 

regularly in a time when many were starving.   They also 

paid a lot of money to the red seahorse government in 

taxes. 

     The red seahorses lived extremely lavish lifestyles. 

They lived in large mansions,   had more food than 

they could eat and spent money on silly things.   They 

had the most money and land, but they didn't have to 

pay the large taxes that the blue seahorses and sea 

creatures paid.

     The red seahorse royal family lived in an extremely 

large, coral palace.   Even though they were very rich, 

the red seahorse royal family spent more money than 

they made.   Once they ran out of money, the red 

seahorses started taxing the blue seahorses and 

colorful sea creatures to get even more money. 

      The blue seahorses and colorful sea creatures did 

not like the red seahorses taking so much of their 

money with such high taxes and became very upset. 

They started to demand change. This demand angered 

the red seahorses and the seahorse King. To help solve 

this issue, the King called the Coral General to meet. 

The Coral General was a gathering where the blue 

seahorses and red seahorses talked about their  

problems and come to a compromise. However, that's 

not what happened. 

     This started the first visible stage of the revolution. 

This is where the blue seahorses took direct action. 

     The Coral General meeting did not go as planned. 

The red seahorses and red seahorse royal family 

outvoted and ignored the blue seahorses. This upset 

the blue seahorses.   They formed the National Coral 

Assembly. The National Coral Assembly decided that 

they could run the Fish Kingdom better than the red  

seahorses.   They wanted to get rid of the high and 

unequally applied taxes. 

    The red seahorse King did not like this and tried to 

stop the blue seahorses. However, no matter how hard 

he tried, the King could not stop them. The colorful 

sea creatures liked the National Coral Assembly's 

ideas and   joined the blue seahorses.   Now with so 

much support, the National Coral Assembly could start 

to rule the kingdom and protect the blue seahorses and 

colorful sea creature's money.
