The Friendly Little Tugboat

This story is about a tugboat that has always been fearless, one that seeks adventure and an opportunity to delve into the great unknown. Redundancy and a life of predictability have never been the goal of this tugboat named Nikos. He looks to really learn more about the sea and sees every adventure not as a risk, but rather as an opportunity to broaden his horizons.

His craving for adventure leads to certain unexpected obstacles, but they do not deter this brave tugboat. Everybody is going to face difficult times, but though the other boats in Nikos's shipyard continuously tease and isolate him, he eventually gets an opportunity to experience a true sense of friendship. What the story really shows us is that not all difficult times have to be conquered alone.
