Whose tail?
Deep in the Pacific ocean once lived a little clownfish, named Nemo. Nemo was a very happy and a very curious little fish. He liked playing balls with the butterfly fish and he loved traveling. One day when Nemo was traveling around the ocean he saw a purple tail. He decided to find the owner.
First, he met the old Octopus. «Is it your tail?», asked Nemo. «No, I don’t have a tail», answered the old octopus.
Next, Nemo met the red Sea Horse. «Is it your tail?», asked Nemo. «No, my tail is red», answered the red Sea Horse.
After that, Nemo met the Green Fish. «Is it your tail?»,asked her Nemo. «No, my tail is green with yellow stripes», she said.
Then, Nemo met the big, black and very dangerous Orca. «Is, is, is it your t-t-tail, sir?», asked him Nemo. «Come closer, little curious clownfish and then I’ll tell you», said the Orca and opened it’s big toothy mouth. «Aaaah!», screamed Nemo and swam for his life. He swam and swam and swam until he saw a little whale who was crying.
«Why are you crying, little whale?», asked him Nemo.
«I lost my beautiful purple tail», answered the little whale through tears. «Is it your tail?», asked Nemo and showed him the tail he found.
«Yes, it is! It’s my tail! Hurray!!!», said happy little whale. «Thank you Nemo so-so much!». And they became friends.
The end.

That was fun to read. My daughter liked the story as well.

Just check the format for reporting dialogue, your version needed a bit of correction.

And thank you for the corrections you made. And “fast friends” is a good phrase to know. 👍🏼
