The Squid

Once upon a time in the deep blue ocean, there lived a Squid. The Squid lived a very social life, making friends with the dwellers of the sea and its neighbors. Welcoming to all, over the years the Squid gained many friends and allies. But not everyone was willing to accept the Squid. Some grew jealous of the Squid's many companions and wanted to destroy what the Squid had made. Seeking to sabotage the Squid, a Tuna greeted the Squid, pretending to want to be their friend. The naive Squid accepted, and the Tuna built up the Squid's trust over many months. The Tuna lay in wait to enact its plan, planning and preparing. One day, the Tuna was ready to break its guise and invited the Squid to meet them. When the Squid arrived, the Tuna lunged at the unsuspecting cephalopod, narrowly missing them with their teeth. The Squid, shocked at the turn of events, fled the area. After escaping from the Tuna, the Squid developed a sense of paranoia, rejecting all of its former friends. To this day, squids are still wary, even being frightened of each other. And to this day, tuna fish still attack squids.
