An octopus reads a book. Words swim on pages. Letters twist and turn. The octopus feels dizzy. “What is this?” he thinks. “I do not understand.” The book talks about ancient Greece. The octopus scratches his head. “It is Greek to me,” he says. He closes the book. He swims away. The octopus looks for simpler stories. He finds one about fish. He understands now. The octopus smiles.
