Cannoli the Squid - 15 Page PDF

Cannoli does not lack in confidence. He wants nothing more than to reach out and play. He has spent too long playing with himself that he’s grown quite bored. When his mother told him to hide from strangers, he left them seashells. When his mum shouted swim away, he lifted an arm and said hello.
When the tide went out and all his family retreated to safety, he did not, instead he sat proud, perched on tide breakers. He after all was like the little mermaid of his world, desperately seeking a different world.
