There once was a boy who could run
and jump and climb. He could even
make a noise like a seagull.
But he couldn’t swim.
And oh, how
he wanted to.
Then one day ...
... he noticed
a fish that
couldn’t
swim
either.
He wanted
to help the fish.
So he put it in the water ...
... and the fish came alive!
But the boy also wanted
to learn to swim.
So the fish
showed the boy
how to put
his mouth in
the water and
blow.
What fun they had!
The next day, the boy remembered
what the fish had taught him.
And so the boy who could
run and jump and climb,
and even make a noise like a seagull,
learned to swim like a fish.
