In the book Lyddie, the young girl Lyddie has two passions. These are: a deep-seated loyalty to her family and a desire for independence as is so common in a teenager. One example is, how she saves her family from an intruding bear as she stares it down while her family escapes to the loft. She then works tirelessly in a textile mill to pay off her family's debt on their farm.
Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesn't look like Sam. So Sam goes away. Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly. Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him. "Hello! Would you like to be my friend?" Sam answers: "Of course! But you are round. I am flat." The round fish days: "But we are both fishes."
Sam thinks and says, "You are right. Let's be friends." They become good friends.
