About This Story
Tonight's story is called "The Angelfish's Friendship Reef." When Finn, a small Angelfish who never strays far from his cozy anemone home, meets Naseem, a lonely little fish who has drifted far from his family, Finn discovers that friendship means opening your home to someone new — even when it feels easier to stay small and safe. When the other reef fish are unsure about the stranger, Finn must choose between staying quiet or standing beside his new friend. By the end, Finn learns that a reef, like a heart, was never meant to hold just one fish alone.
