A Cheerful Friend

In the vast ocean lived a small angelfish, always so sad, often found near the bright corals, lost in thought and devoid of joy. Then, one day, she encountered a little goby fish, brimming with happiness, who never felt a touch of sadness.

"Hello, Angelfish," Goby greeted, "is something troubling you? Why are you sad?"

"Hello, Goby. Oh, it's nothing," the fish responded.

"But something must be wrong," Goby insisted. "If not, you'd be laughing and darting through the water just like me. You must've lost something."

"I haven't lost anything!" Angelfish retorted, slightly annoyed.

"I'm sure you've lost something," Goby continued to press. "Let's search for it together, we'll surely find it."

"How can we search when we don't know what we're looking for?" asked Angelfish.

"Don't worry about it," Goby replied cheerfully. "We'll know what we were searching for once we find it. So, ready to go?" He invited Angelfish, who thought a little excursion, even with Goby, might not be so bad. Reluctantly, Angelfish started to follow him, letting curiosity lead her fin.
