One day, Ricky saw something strange. A thick, slimy sludge had begun to cover a spot near the rocky cove. "What is this?" Ricky wondered aloud.

"Finn, have you seen the sludge in the cove?" Ricky asked. Finn nodded, "Yes, Ricky. It's been there for days. I think it may be coming from the old workshop by the shore."

Ricky swam swiftly to the shore and found the workshop.

It looked abandoned and covered in grime. "I need to get closer," Ricky thought.

He swam up to the spot where the sludge was gushing out. As he got closer, he saw a busted pipe. "This must be it," Ricky said firmly.

He knew he had to act quickly to stop the sludge from spoiling the arctic waters. Ricky swam back to Finn as quickly as he could. "I found a busted pipe at the workshop. A lot of sludge is coming out," he told Finn.

"We need to fix it," Finn agreed. "We will need as much help as we can get." They called upon the other animals in the arctic. Soon, a team of fish, sharks, and even a whale joined them.

Together, they worked quickly. The shark used its teeth to cut away the busted parts of the pipe.

The gulls helped fly new pipes over to the workshop. Ricky and Finn showed them where to place the new pipes.

The animals worked swiftly and silently, focusing on the task. Finally, after hours of hard work, the pipe was fixed. The sludge slowly stopped flowing.

Ricky and Finn watched as the bubbles started to rise again. The water shone brightly under the sunlight. "Thank you, everyone," Ricky said loudly. "We did it!"

The animals were able to swim freely in the arctic again. It felt lovely to have the water clear from any sludge.

Ricky felt deeply happy knowing that his home was safe again. Ricky and his friends made a promise to always watch over their arctic home, keeping it safe and clean for all who lived there.
