ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sina and the Eel

Once upon a time there was a little fishy named Sina. She lived in a big river with lots of other fishies and lots of things to eat. One day, Sina saw something in the river that she had never seen before. It was a long, slimy creature that wiggled like crazy. Sina was very curious about this thing and she wanted to get a closer look. So, she swam up to it.

The long creature was called an eel. The eel was also very curious about Sina and wanted to get a closer look. So, the eel said to Sina: "Hello there little fishy, what are you doing in my river?" Sina was surprised that the eel could talk, but she answered back: "I live here with all the other fishies. Who are you?" The eel replied: "I am an eel. My name is Elly."

Sina and Elly started to talk and they became good friends. Elly told Sina all about how eels are hunters and how they like to eat fishies sometimes. Sina was a bit scared at first, but she knew that Elly was her friend and would never hurt her. So, they swam together and had lots of fun exploring the river.

Even though Sina was a little fishy and Elly was a big eel, they showed that they could be friends and learn from each other. So, the next time you see a strange creature in the river or in the ocean, don't be afraid to say hello and learn something new!
