The Octopus's Funny Prank 5

In the deep blue ocean, so bubbly and bright, Lived Octavia, an octopus, bored with all her might. Her suckers all shiny, her eyes full of glee, "A prank I shall play," she giggled, "for all the sea to see!"

Then scuttling along, with a shell hard and brown, Came Crabby McSnappy, wearing quite a frown. "Oh dear," thought Octavia, "he's perfect, you see, The grumpiest crab in the whole wide sea!"

With a swirl and a wiggle, a tentacle so sly, Octavia crept closer, with a twinkle in her eye. She tied Crabby's feet, with a knot neat and tight, Then she waited to giggle, with all of her might!

But uh-oh! A problem! A twist and a tangle! Her tentacles stuck! In a knotty sea wrangle! Crabby McSnappy, he tried to break free, But only got stickier, "Oh, woe is me!"

They tugged and they pulled, in a comical plight, Two grumpy sea creatures, caught in the light. Then Octavia giggled, a sound like a chime, And Crabby McSnappy, cracked a smile for the first time!

He chuckled and wheezed, "This is quite the affair!" Octavia laughed harder, forgetting her care. They wiggled and jiggled, and finally, *POP!* The knot came undone, with a slippery drop!

No longer so grumpy, no longer so blue, Crabby McSnappy, had a new point of view. And Octavia the octopus, with a joyful sea spree, Learned laughter's the best prank, for you and for me!
