832 - AZURE

As thE sun came out fRom behind a cloud, Sebastian cast his rod out once more to see what he could catch. Before long there was a tug and he reeled in his prey. He knelt down to reach out for what turned out to be a bream. "Not a useful catch", he said and went to put it back when part of the bank gave way. He could never be sure how he didn't fall into the water. "That was a close shave", he couldn't help calling out. Then he spotted the shape of a fish he recognised. "What is that doing here? It's the wrong habitat and won't live long". Then he spotted an otter giving chase. He quickly put his catching net out and rescued the lost fish. He hurried home and transferred it to his salt-water aquarium. "I hope it survives - an azure damselfish will make a lovely addition to my existing fish", he said.
