Symbiosis in fiction

Symbiosis in fiction is when two or more things (like plants, animals, or even people) work together to help each other out. It's like having a friend who helps you with your homework and you help them with their chores.

In stories or movies, symbiosis can be shown a lot of ways. For example, in the movie "Finding Nemo," Dory and Marlin work together to find Nemo. Dory, who has short-term memory loss, helps Marlin remember important information about where he needs to go, and Marlin helps protect Dory from danger.

Another example is in the book "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe." The character Lucy partners with Mr. Tumnus, a faun, to navigate the strange world they find themselves in. Lucy, who is new to the world, can learn more about it from Mr. Tumnus, and Mr. Tumnus gets a companion and a friend.

Overall, symbiosis in fiction is a way to show that working together can lead to positive outcomes for everyone involved.
