Here's the story...
Once upon a time there was a squid named Mzil. She lived in the coral reef among many different varieties of beautiful fish, all of them wearing many magnificent colors ranging from blue to red, to even orange or bright green. Oh, how she longed to be like the fish in her reef, colorized and beautiful like them. But alas, she could not change her color, no matter what she tried. She had been searching for some shrimp in a tiny cavern under her reef. However, instead of wrapping her tentacles around a shrimp, she instead found a clam. When the clam snapped down on her tentacle, she screeched, finding herself trapped in the dark cavern. Thrashing like mad, she was able to finally free herself from the clam's tight grasp, flinging the tiny creature across the cavern where it collided with the wall, breaking in two. Inside Mzil found a collection of pearls. A pink pearl, a green pearl, and an orange pearl. Surely if she didn't do something with these pearls someone would take them from her! But what should she do? Thinking a moment, Mzil decided she would eat the pearls. They would be safe in her tummy after all. Gobbling down the three pearls, she floated back home, nestling into her bed for a good nights rest. However, when she awoke something was different. Her body! She had turned into the colors of the pearl! Oh, her wish had come true! And just as any good story ends, she lived happily ever after.
