Meet the Octopus
Under the sea, in clear blue-green water lit by sunbeams from above. A round-headed orange octopus with big gentle eyes rests on pale sand beside a pile of gray rocks, its eight arms curled loosely on the sand. Green seaweed sways nearby, a small striped fish swims past, and a little crab sits on a far rock.
An octopus is a sea animal with a soft body and eight long arms. Each arm is covered with round suckers.
