<p>Tanya the Sea Turtle goes for a swim by herself and enjoys the beautiful colors of her ocean neighborhood.</p>
<h6><em>Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “The Colorful Ocean,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!</em></h6>
<p><strong>Narrator:</strong> Male</p>
<p><strong>Story Begins: </strong>8:47</p>
<p><em>The Colorful Ocean </em>Excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Tanya the Sea Turtle was swimming in the beautiful green-blue ocean </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">waters that surrounded Ahway Island. Sunlight streamed through the</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">clear and shallow waters, the light causing the ocean to sparkle </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">beautifully all around her.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Tanya’s favorite fish were the parrot fish. They had bright green tails, </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">little multi-colored flippers, and their blue mouths looked just like</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">beaks. The first time the little sea turtle saw a parrot fish, she almost </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">giggled because it looked so much like a parrot! But she didn’t want to</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">hurt the fish’s feelings so she kept her giggles inside. Although she</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">loved the way the parrot fish looked, they were also her favorite</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">because in her experience, they were also the friendliest. Anytime she </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">saw one of the parrot fish, they immediately said hello and asked her </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">how she was doing</span>.</p></blockquote>
