SpongeBob lives in the Bikini Bottom, an underwater city underneath the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. He lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, who behaves like an ordinary house cat. His next-door neighbors are Squidward Tentacles, a grumpy octopus, and Patrick Star, a dimwitted pink starfish who is SpongeBob’s best friend. SpongeBob’s favorite activities include bubble blowing, jellyfishing, and eating ice cream. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a fast food restaurant owned by the greedy Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob loves going to Mrs. Puff‘s Boating School, where he can ace any written or oral exam. However, whenever he actually gets behind the wheel of a boat, his nerves get the best of him and he ends up crashing. SpongeBob’s other friends are Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas who lives in an underwater tree-dome, and Pearl, a teenage whale who is Mr. Krabs’ daughter. SpongeBob is often put up against Plankton, Mr. Krabs’ evil business rival.
