His scales had a newish shine that made him stand out.

One day, Manish saw a reddish apple floating in the stream.

He swam swiftly towards it, feeling a little childish.

The apple was sweetish, and Manish enjoyed his treat.

But soon, the stream turned a darkish gray from the rain.

Manish felt a little feverish as the water grew coldish.

He found an oldish log and decided to take shelter underneath it.

As he waited, he saw a greenish frog leap from a lily pad.

Feeling a little foolish, he invited the frog to join him.

The rain stopped, leaving the stream a grayish color.

Manish and his new friend, the frog, swam happily in the stream.
