When scared, Puff puffed up full of spikes. Even a tiny splash made him spike up. His friends swam close, then darted away hurt.
Puff watched them play from far behind. One day, he swam slowly toward the group. A shadow passed, and his spikes shot out.
His spikes kept everyone far, far away. No one swam near his reef corner. A storm swept a tiny fish from home.
Puff felt the old fear rising fast inside. A lost fish needed him soft, not spiked. He stayed round and gentle, leading her home.
Now Puff stays soft, keeping friends close.
