Deep in the ocean, there lived a bottom fish named Burt. Burt was a small, unassuming fish that lived among the rocks and sand at the bottom of the sea. He was content with his simple life, swimming through the seaweed and dodging the larger fish that swam above him.

 One day, a group of researchers descended into the depths of the ocean in a submersible to study the bottom-dwelling fish. They were amazed to find the diverse and unique creatures that lived among the rocks and sand. Burt, being a small and unassuming fish, went unnoticed by the researchers as they studied the more colorful and exotic fish around him.

 But as the researchers were about to leave, one of them spotted Burt and was intrigued by his unusual coloring. They captured him and brought him to the surface to study him further. Burt was terrified and confused, as he had never left the safety of the ocean floor before.

 As it turned out, Burt was a rare species of fish that possessed unique adaptations for living at the bottom of the ocean. The researchers were thrilled to have found him and studied him, and they quickly released him back into the ocean.

 Burt returned to the ocean floor, but he was changed by his experience. He realized that he was special and unique, and he began to explore the ocean in a new way. He swam among the rocks and sand, but he also ventured out to explore the waters above. He discovered a whole new world that he had never known existed.

 From that day on, Burt was known as the "explorer fish" and he would often take other bottom fish with him on his adventures. He showed them that there was more to life than just living at the bottom of the ocean. Burt's newfound confidence and sense of adventure had a positive impact on the entire ocean community.
