A grumpy little crab named Cranky Rasberry lived in the vast, mysterious depths of the Sea of Aregoia, where the sunlight could barely peek through the swirling waters. With his bright red shell and snappy claws, Rasberry had earned his nickname because he always grumbled about everything.

Cranky Rasberry was scuttling along the seabed one sunny morning, grumbling as usual. “This sand is too rough! These rocks are too big! The seaweed tickles my claws!”

Two mermaids swam up, giggling as they twirled in the water. They were Ella and her twin sister, Arista. They were known for their kindness and love of adventure.

“Good morning, Cranky Rasberry!” Ella called out, waving.

“What’s so good about it?” Raspberry huffed, but secretly, he liked their company.

Arista, who always had a playful twinkle in her eye, leaned over. “We’re going on an adventure today! Want to come along?”

Cranky Rasberry scrunched up his face. “Adventure? What kind of trouble are you two getting into this time?”
