Read the text evidence and choose the character trait the best fits the little red fish and Swimmy.

“Let’s go and swim and play and SEE things!” he said happily.

“We can’t,” said the little red fish. “The big fish will eat us all.”

“But you can’t just lie there,” said Swimmy. “We must THINK of something.”

Swimmy thought and thought and thought. Then suddenly he said, “I have it!”

“We are going to swim all together like the biggest fish in the sea!”

He taught them to swim close together, each in his own place, and when they had learned to swim like one giant fish, he said, “I’ll be the eye.”

And so they swam in the cool morning water and in the midday sun and chased the big fish away.
