    Suddenly, a large, bright blue octopus appeared from behind a coral reef. It had friendly eyes and seemed to be more curious about Jamie than scared.

    The octopus led Jamie to a small cave. The cave walls were adorned with anemones of all colors. It was the octopus's home.

    They spent hours playing, exploring, and even found a hidden treasure chest. Jamie had made a new friend in the friendly octopus.

    Meanwhile, the octopus was seen playing with a shiny pearl it had found in the treasure chest. It too was missing its new friend.
