Once upon a time there was an octopus named Harry. Harry wasn't like regular octopi though, he was a bit odd.

Harry only had 6 legs unlike all the other octopi.

Do you want to be friends?

This made the other sea animals scared of him and not want to be his friends.

Ummm... no thanks. You're odd.

"I just want to be have a friend" said the Harry. "I don't understand why they don't want to be my friend. I'm going to swim far away from here". 

Harry found himself all alone in a dark, scary place. Suddenly he didn't know where he was or how to get back. But he kept swimming in hopes to find a friend. 

Suddenly a mermaid appeared with the most beautiful tail Harry had ever seen. Maybe she would be his friend? 

Hello there little Octopus! Are you lost? You seem far from home? Where are your friends?

I don't have any friend. Everyone calls me odd.

Harry opened up to the mermaid about how he ran away from home because he only had six legs. She listened about how felt odd and out of place.
