Pearls are formed inside oysters who live on the ocean-bed inside their shells. This is the story of one such oyster.</p> <p>This oyster was very pleased with himself because he believed that he was the most important creature in the world. Of course, the silkworm was quite useful too, but silk did not fetch the same price as pearls, so the oyster felt that he had good reason to think well of himself.</p>
