Fourth Annual Reading Rainbow Contest

The Polka-Dotted Shell

But Hermie liked it so he tried it on and it fit perfectly. "It fits, I can't believe it, I'm so happy," shouted Hermie as he bounced around with happiness.

Meanwhile, back on the boardwalk, Claw, Jell and Stu were talking. Suddenly, they saw Hermie, Hump and Snaily.

"Oh, look guys, here comes Pokey the Crab!"

"Hey, who are you calling pokey?" said Hermie.
"Duh, you!" said Stu laughing.

Suddenly, they saw a huge octopus coming out of the ocean.

"Uh, hi," said Claw nervously, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to make sure you never pick on Hermie again."

"Do I have to?" Claw asked.

"YES!" said the octopus as he slowly disappeared in the waves.

"Okay, we'll be your friends," said Claw.

"Are you sure?" asked Hermie.

"Yes."

"Okay," said Hermie.

Claw, Jell and Stu never teased Hermie again.
