Humans are really animals – that’s obvious — and that’s why animals sometimes act like humans, and humans sometimes act like animals. This also applies to fish, because just like us, sea creatures form friendships too!
The story follows the friendship between a small cleaner fish and a large predator. After an unfortunate encounter, the cleaner fish becomes a prisoner of the moray and must work hard to please him. But one day, an even larger fish appears on the reef — a shark! Now the cleaner fish has the chance to prove its special talents.Even the shark soon learns to appreciate the cleaner fish and its companions — though he might sometimes be tempted to eat them!
In the end, both species discover how much they benefit from each other: the moray and the cleaner fish each possess unique abilities the other lacks. Together, they form a remarkable partnership — and a lasting friendship.
This playful, fictional story explains the real-life symbiosis between these fish species in a humorous and engaging way.If you’d like to learn more about the author and her inspiration for the book, you can find all the details here:
