    A very good morning to the honourable judges, loyal

    time-keeper, teachers, and my dear friends. I’m going


    to tell you a story entitled “AN OCTOPUS IN
    TROUBLE”.
    Once upon a time there was a shy and quiet octopus.
    He nearly always went about on his own because,
    although he wanted to have lots of friends, he was too
    self-conscious.
    One day, the octopus was trying to catch a very
    slippery oyster. Before he knew it, he had tied himself
    into one massive knot, and he couldn't move. He tried
    with all his strength to wriggle free, but it was no
    good.
    In the end, despite the great embarrassment he
    felt at being seen in such a tangle, he had to ask for
    help from the passing fish. Many fish swam past,
    ignoring him, but one very kind little fish offered to
    help to untie all those tentacles from all those
    suckers.
    The octopus felt heartily relieved when he was
    finally set free, but he was so shy that he didn't dare
    talk to the fish and make friends with him. He simply
    thanked the fish, and quickly swam off. Later, the
    octopus spent the whole night thinking that he had
    wasted a great opportunity to make friends with
    that very kind little fish.
    A couple of days later the octopus was resting
    between some rocks, when he noticed that everyone
    around was hurriedly swimming past. He looked into the
    distance and saw an enormous fish coming over to feed
    in that area.
    The octopus quickly hid; then,peeping an eye out
    from his hiding place, he saw that the huge fish was
    chasing the kind little fish who had untied him. That
    little fish really needed urgent help, but the big fish
    was so dangerous-looking that no one dared to go near.
    The octopus, remembering how the little fish had
    helped him, felt that he had to do whatever he could
    to come to his aid.
    Without hesitating, the octopus shot out from the
    rocks, like a ray. He put himself right in the path of
    the giant fish, and before the fish could do anything
    about it, the octopus had shot out the biggest jet of
    ink of his life. He grabbed the little fish, and swam off
    back to hide in the rocks. 
    Everything happened so fast that the big fish
    had no time to react. However, he soon recovered
    from the surprise. Off he went to the rocks, looking
    for the octopus and the little fish. Now he really
    wanted to gobble them down!
    Soon, though, he began feeling a terrible itch; first
    in his gills, and then in his fins, and then all over his
    body. It turned out that this giant fish had a very
    artistic nature, he adored colours; and the octopus's
    dark ink had given him a terrible allergy!!
    So the big fish swam away, irritated all over.
    As soon as he was gone, all the fish who had been
    hiding came and congratulated the octopus for being
    so brave. Then the little fish told them all how he had
    helped the octopus a few days earlier, but he had
    never known anyone be so grateful that they would end
    up doing something so dangerous. Hearing this, the
    other fish discovered how nice the shy octopus was,
    and everyone around was keen to be the friend of such
    a brave and honourable octopus.

    My dear friends, from this story we learnt that


    showing gratitude is one of the bases of friendship.
    Acts can overcome shyness.

    That’s all from me. Thank you very much.
