A shadow loomed overhead. In his hiding place, the fish trembled with indecision. To hide from the predator, or chase off the intruder? It all depended on whether the creature was hungry for sea anemone, or for... something else.

The turtle passed without a backward glance, apparently not hungry at all. The clown fish emerged from his shelter and pulled a face at the retreating shell.

"And don't come back!" he called out, just loud enough to sound as though he meant it.

The turtle flapped a lazy flipper and arched gracefully away through the clear, tropical waters.
