Friendly Fish

collage

7 inches wide x 7 inches high

They go swimming about, tootle-ooh, around and around, just swimmingswimmingswimming. They eat and talk with each other and tell stories and complain and give presents and grow older. They were once young, and now, having learned some things about their world, they tell more stories. And they have learned to be friendly; it's nicer that way. It's a good place they're in. They have found the safe waters and that is a good thing, a very good thing. It's good to be happy, to be safe, to know what they know.

Ah, why can't the nasty sharks be like this, too.
