There once was an octopus. His name was Ollie the Octopus. It was the nineteenth of December 2017 at Muscle Beach. He lived in a deep, dark, cave. He was jealous, sneaky and cheeky. Ollie the Octopus's neighbour's name was Clinger the Clam. Clinger was the richest animal in the beach and had travelled around the whole world. Clinger the Clam and Ollie the Octopus were extremely good friends.
The bad thing was Ollie was poor so he started to steal from Clinger the Clam's silver, shiny clean house! He was stealing Clinger's golden pearls. Then Ollie the Octopus said "I am now a robber. Ha ha ha ha!" Lots of creatures were encouraging him not to but he would not listen. His house was flowing with shiny, gold, expensive, tiny pearls. He now had a black leather jacket that he really liked to wear because he was a top secret agent. He had learned all the robber moves — like parkour.
Just then he thought about his friends and how sad he was making them. He decided to stop stealing and gave the pearls back to Clinger the Clam a month later. Lots of animals came together for a big, extremely happy celebration because Ollie the Octopus had stopped stealing from Clinger his nice neighbour. Every animal in Venice Beach was a lot happier and they got what they wanted. Clinger and Ollie were good friends again plus they were a lot happier and they did interesting stuff together.
