But when a sharp-tongued mandarin fish makes him feel small, George decides to prove that he can handle anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen a tired apprentice pours water into the rinse tank in the wrong order and forgets one ordinary but essential step: stirring. The tank looks perfectly clear, yet fresh water is floating above much saltier water, creating an invisible salt line. Warned to take the long, safe route, George ignores the advice and swims straight through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a tense but gentle rescue involving Madame Molly, Professor Nitra and the smallest workers in the biofilter, Ozzie's life-giving bubbles, and Yechiel's calm rule: \"Slow.

George also learns that strength is not pretending to know everything-it is listening, admitting mistakes, and becoming a deeper fish because of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Meets the Salt Line is the third illustrated chapter book in the George the Cranky Guppy mini-series.
