Once upon a time, there lived a red seahorse named 

Edward. Edward lived at the bottom of the ocean with 

his fish friends.

Life at the bottom of the ocean was simple. They 

woke up in the morning, ate their breakfast, went to 

school, did their homework, played a little bit, did 

their chores, ate dinner, and went to bed. 

It was a fine life, but the fish felt like something was 

missing... 

Throughout the day, the fish also always had to clean 

their homes, keep the plants healthy, and make sure 

the sand was soft.

The fish felt like this was just too much work. They 

wanted to have more playtime! So they asked Edward 

to do some of their chores because he was a seahorse. 

He didn't even look like a fish. They asked him to 

clean their homes.

Edward agreed, but wasn't very happy about it. 

For the next few weeks everything seemed to go well. 

The fish played and then Edward joined them later. Then, 

one day, the fish decided that they still didn't have 

enough play time.

They asked Edward to start doing their homework. Why 

should he get to play with the fish? This time, Edward 

was more reluctant, but the fish wouldn't take no for an 

answer.

Soon enough, the fish felt like they shouldn't have to do 

any of their chores. They were all fish, and Edward was a 

seahorse, so to them it seemed logical that he should do 

their chores.

They started playing more and more and they started 

making Edward do all of their chores. 

Edward was really sad about this. He felt like he had lost 

them as friends, and he didn't want to keep working so 

much.
