📖 Read the Story
Oliver the octopus loved his ocean drum. Tonight was the big underwater party!
He needed a special rhythm to call all his fish friends. *Thump-thump! Thump-thump!*
But the rhythm felt all wrong. No fish swam near. Oliver sighed sadly.
Coral the crab watched from a rocky perch. She saw Oliver's frown.
"Hello, Oliver!" Coral scuttled closer. "Your drum sounds a little lonely."
Oliver sighed. "I can't find the right beat for the party," he mumbled.
Coral's eyes sparkled. "Maybe you need new sounds!" she chirped.
She tapped the drum with the shell. *Click-clack! Click-clack!* A bright, new sound!
Oliver tried it too. *Click-clack! Thump-thump!* It was different!
Then Coral found smooth, round pebbles. "Try these!" she suggested.
