    Rainbow Fish lived in the deepest part of the ocean. Every morning, he would swim to the surface, his scales shimmering in the sunlight in a thousand different colors.

    One day, the Sun watched in awe as Rainbow Fish splashed in the water, his scales casting a glow of a thousand colors. 'You are so beautiful,' Sun said, 'I wish I could shine like you.'

    Rainbow Fish loved his home in the coral reef. He swam among the corals, his scales reflecting the colors of his surroundings, creating a spectacle of beauty.

    Every creature in the reef admired the Rainbow Fish for his colors. But he was humble and shared his beauty with everyone, making the ocean a more colorful place.

    As the day drew to a close, Rainbow Fish swam to the surface to say goodnight to the Sun. 'You make the ocean beautiful,' said the Sun, 'and I want to thank you.'

    'Tomorrow, when you come to the surface, I will give you a gift,' the Sun promised, then he slowly set, leaving the ocean in darkness.

    The next morning, Rainbow Fish rose to the surface and waited for the Sun. As the first rays of sunlight touched his scales, they began to shimmer even more brightly.

    'I have given you the gift of the sun's radiance,' said the Sun. 'Now, even in the darkest depths of the ocean, you will shine like the sun.'

    Rainbow Fish swam back to his home in the coral reef, his scales glowing with the light of the sun. The entire ocean was lit up by his radiance.

    All the sea creatures were amazed at the sight of Rainbow Fish. He was not just a fish of a thousand colors now; he was a fish that shone like the sun.

    Every day, Rainbow Fish would rise to the surface to greet the Sun and then swim back down, lighting up the ocean with his radiant scales.

    The ocean was never dark again, thanks to Rainbow Fish. He was the light of the sea, a fish of a thousand colors, each described until it finally burst in the sun.
