THE SILLY JELLYFISH

“The story is about a Jellyfish that did not have to courage to stand up to a bully fish. But then, a dragon boy asked for help to get a liver from a monkey to save the girl dragon that was sick. The bully fish told the silly Jellyfish to do it. So he went and found the monkey but the monkey tricked him and he did not get the liver. But he did not need it because the girl dragon got better all by herself. And an old Jellyfish told Silly Jellyfish that he was courage[ous] because he went and found the monkey so he has the courage to stand up to the bully fish.” – Andrew
