Here are three playful ways to say it:
- Flat as a pancake, the flounder snuggles into the sandy seabed like a sleepy pancake-fish.
- The flounder is pancake-flat and spreads out on the ocean floor like a cozy little rug.
- Like a fishy pancake, the flounder lies flat and hides on the bottom of the sea.
Easy steps to imagine it:
- Think of a pancake — it is very flat and squishy.
- Now imagine a fish that is just as flat; that fish is a flounder.
- The seabed is the bottom of the sea, where the flounder lies down to hide and rest.
Try it: lie flat on your tummy and pretend to be a flounder hiding on the sea floor!
