In the deepest part of the ocean, there lived a group of colorful fish who had never seen the surface.
在海洋最深处，住着一群五彩斑斓的鱼。
They told stories about it — how it was bright, dangerous, and full of unknown creatures.
它们从未见过海面，只听说那里明亮、危险、充满未知的生物。
The older fish said the surface could burn your fins and blind your eyes.
年长的鱼说，海面会灼伤你的鱼鳍，让你的眼睛失明。
So, everyone agreed: stay deep, stay safe.
所以，大家都认为：呆在深处才安全。
The fish loved their dim, quiet world.
鱼们喜欢他们昏暗安静的世界。
They glowed in the dark and made bubbles that twinkled like stars.
它们在黑暗中发光，吹出的泡泡像星星一样闪烁。
Every day, they sang songs about how smart they were for staying far away from danger.
每天，它们唱着歌，夸自己聪明，不去靠近危险。
Only one small fish, Luna, felt curious.
只有一条小鱼露娜充满好奇，她常常抬头望着上方，想知道蓝色天花板外到底有什么。
She often looked up, wondering what really lay beyond the blue ceiling.
Luna was tiny but brave.
露娜虽然小，但很勇敢。
She asked the old anglerfish, “What if the stories are wrong?”
她问老琵琶鱼：“如果那些故事是错的呢？”
The anglerfish frowned, its light flickering.
老琵琶鱼皱起眉头，灯光闪了闪，“孩子，上面没有好事。”
“Child,” it said, “nothing good comes from up there.”
但露娜还是忘不了那偶尔洒下来的银色光芒。
But Luna couldn’t stop thinking about the light that sometimes shimmered down like silver rain.
One day, Luna decided to find out for herself.
有一天，露娜决定亲自去看看。
She swam upward, higher than any of her friends dared.
她一路向上游，比任何同伴都要高。
Her heart pounded as the water grew warmer and brighter.
水变得更暖、更亮，她的心跳加快。
She saw shapes she didn’t recognize — coral, shells, and even a giant turtle who smiled kindly at her.
她看见珊瑚、贝壳，甚至还有一只友好的大海龟向她微笑。
Finally, Luna broke through the surface.
终于，露娜冲出了海面。
The sunlight dazzled her eyes, but instead of pain, she felt warmth and wonder.
阳光让她睁不开眼，但她没有感到疼痛，反而感到温暖和惊奇。
She saw blue sky, white clouds, and her reflection sparkling like a diamond.
她看见蓝天、白云，还有闪闪发光的倒影。
It wasn’t scary — it was beautiful!
这一切太美了！
Luna laughed, making tiny ripples that danced across the water.
露娜开心地笑了，水面上泛起一圈圈涟漪。
When Luna returned, the other fish gasped.
当露娜回到深海，其他鱼都惊讶地说：“你比以前更亮了！”
“You’re glowing brighter!”
露娜笑了：“我看见了天空，它并不可怕，而是充满光和希望。”
they said.
从那天起，深海的鱼再也不害怕海面了。
Luna smiled.
“I’ve seen the sky.
It’s not what we feared — it’s full of light and hope.”
Slowly, the others began to swim upward too.
From that day, the deep-sea fish were no longer afraid of the surface.
