1. Scale's Journey
Eliza

2. Scale's eyes slowly opened. It was a new bright morning in the aquarium.
Scale looked around and expected to see himself inside the cozy little monster
tank but he was not. He was in the dolphin tank, and Scale was not a dolphin. He
had a shell not like a dolphin and he had a mane not like a dolphin. Scale did not
belong in a dolphin tank.

3. Scale sat and thought for what felt like hours then an idea popped into his head. What if he flopped on
the floor and climbed up back into the monster tank? So that evening Scale crept on to the floor, and he
slowly made his way towards where he remembered the monster tank was. He settled there for the night.
In the morning Scale saw some unusual shadows making their way around the tank. He swam towards
them and peered down at the shadows. He could not believe it! There in front of him sat a slimy and nasty
shark! Then Scale realized that he was in the shark tank not the monster tank.

4. Scale did not know what to do. He didn't think he'd ever see his monster family and friends again.
Small tears rolled down Scale's soft cheek. He decided that he would try to escape again. So, that
night he struggled to get out of the tank and started down the hall towards where Scale was sure the
monster tank was, and he saw the aquarium guard lurking around the hallway.

5. Scale darted in the shadows making sure not to be seen by the guard. "Who's there?" screamed
the guard. Scale hurried out of the guard's sight. The aquarium was dark. Scale felt his way towards
the monster tank. His fins came upon the glass edges of the monster tank where he belonged. Scale
was so happy he could just screech in joy right there in the middle of the night.

6. Scale was so happy! He dove straight into the tank, and he saw all his family and friends waiting
hopefully for him. His family cheered "Hooray!" And Scale settled into his cozy little bed for the night.
