    There once was a little fish named Nemo who lived in a small fish tank. This tank was located in Alessandra's home, a little girl who loved Nemo very much.

    Nemo longed for a moment of peace. Alessandra's affection was relentless. Every time he would try to swim around his tank, Alessandra would scoop him up for hugs.

    One day, Nemo had an idea. He decided to seek help from his best friend Dory, who lived in the next tank. He shared his problem with her through the glass wall.

    Dory was always up for an adventure and agreed to help Nemo. They devised a plan; Dory would distract Alessandra while Nemo made his escape.

    The next day, as Alessandra approached the tanks, Dory began to perform flips and twirls, catching Alessandra's attention.

    While Alessandra was busy watching Dory, Nemo seized his chance. He mustered all his strength and jumped right out of his tank.

    He landed on a smooth surface, which was Alessandra's study table. It had many interesting things, but he had no time to explore.

    He flopped his way towards the edge of the table. It was then that he saw a large bowl of water with beautiful pebbles at the bottom.

    This was his chance! With a mighty jump, he landed in the bowl. It was spacious and tranquil, just the way he liked it.

    Nemo looked around and appreciated his new home. He felt safe, but he also felt a little bit guilty about leaving Alessandra.

    Meanwhile, Alessandra turned around and gasped when she saw Nemo's empty tank. She frantically searched around, scared that Nemo was hurt.

    Just then, she spotted the bowl on her table. As she looked inside, she saw Nemo happily swimming around.

    She was relieved to find him safe but was confused about how he ended up in the bowl. It was then that she noticed Dory in her tank, still performing stunts.

    It dawned on her that Nemo must have wanted some space. She promised to give Nemo the space he needed while caring for him.

    Nemo was glad that Alessandra understood his need for space. He was happy in his newfound freedom, but he missed Alessandra's love too.

    Alessandra started to visit Nemo less often but made sure he was comfortable. She even dropped some of his favourite food into the bowl each day.

    One day, Nemo noticed that Dory seemed lonely in her tank. He remembered how much fun they used to have together.

    Nemo decided to take some actions. He jumped out of his bowl and indicated to Alessandra that Dory needed a bigger tank.

    Alessandra understood and moved Dory to a larger tank. Dory was jubilant, and Nemo was happy to see his friend so joyous.

    From then on, Alessandra learned to respect the space of her pet fishes. She took care of them without smothering them with constant attention.

    Alessandra even made sure to play with them from a distance. She created games that did not involve touching them so they could enjoy their freedom.

    Nemo and Dory were thankful to have an owner like Alessandra. She loved them but also respected their necessity to feel independent.

    Nemo felt more loved and free than ever before. He was happy that he had made the great escape and also helped Dory find her happiness.

    Alessandra, Nemo and Dory continued to live happily. They respected each other's space while giving and receiving love in their unique ways.

    Nemo realized that communication could solve most problems and promised to always express if something bothered him in the future.
