The sad blue whale swam slowly through the quiet, endless ocean. "I wish I had a friend," whispered Whale with a sigh. Suddenly, something shiny glimmered on the sea floor. Curious, Whale dove down to investigate. It was a strange golden lamp. Whale nudged it gently with his nose, and the lamp began to glow.

Swirling sparkles danced around the lamp, and a little voice called out, "Hello!" Out popped Moo, a tiny genie! "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help," said Moo, floating above the lamp. Whale blinked in surprise and smiled shyly. "Can you really be my friend?" asked Whale. Moo nodded with a cheerful twirl, "Of course!"

Moo and Whale played hide-and-seek among coral reefs. "You can never find me!" giggled Moo, hiding behind a jellyfish. Whale laughed, sending bubbles everywhere. They raced through swaying seaweed and splashed near the surface. Moo made rainbows appear on the waves. "I've never had this much fun!" cheered Whale.

Whale and Moo floated side by side, watching the sun set over the ocean. "I'm glad I found you," said Whale, his heart full of happiness. Moo grinned, "We make a perfect team!" Now Whale knew he would never be lonely again. They waved to dancing dolphins nearby. Friendship made the ocean shine brighter than ever.
