A friend

Pierre wants so much a domestic animal and why not a seahorse. So his dad makes a bathyscaphe. As soon as it is finished, they put it in the bathtub and off they go towards the seabed. They meet parrot fish, sponges, starfish, crabs and when they arrive at the Great Barrier Reef, the seahorses are there as a family before their eyes. But which one to choose and take away? No question of stealing a baby or taking its parents away from a little seahorse! So what to do? What does Peter really want? In this story, a child realizes that animal welfare is important, more important than owning an animal. Thanks to his father who pushes him to think, he will understand that he is no longer looking for a friend and this one will only be faithful and sincere to him if he does not lock him up!
