Swimmy by Leo Leone. What a beautiful drawing.

2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,519
A happy school of little fish lived in a corner of the sea somewhere.

3
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:23,260
They were all red. Only one of them was as black as a mussel shell.

4
00:00:23,899 --> 00:00:28,420
He swam faster than his brothers and sisters. His name was Swimmy.

5
00:00:30,940 --> 00:00:32,420
Here he is. Here is Swimmy.

6
00:00:36,689 --> 00:00:43,450
One bad day, a tuna fish, swift, fierce, and very hungry, came darting through the waves.

7
00:00:43,549 --> 00:00:47,270
In one gulp, he swallowed all the little red fish.

8
00:00:47,909 --> 00:00:49,509
Only Swimmy escaped.

9
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:54,710
There's Swimmy escaping, but all the other little red fish don't escape.

10
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,000
He swam away in the deep, wet world.

11
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:03,520
He was scared, lonely, and very sad.

12
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:06,280
But the sea was full of wonderful creatures,

13
00:01:06,579 --> 00:01:09,959
and as he swam from marvel to marvel, Swimmy was happy again.

14
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,819
He saw a medusa made of rainbow jelly,

15
00:01:12,819 --> 00:01:16,599
A lobster who walked about like a water-moving machine.

16
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:19,400
Here's the lobster.

17
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:25,799
Strange fish pulled by an invisible thread.

18
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:37,170
A forest of seaweeds growing from sugar candy rocks.

19
00:01:44,569 --> 00:01:48,629
An eel whose tail was almost too far away to remember.

20
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:51,989
Look at how tiny he is.

21
00:01:52,349 --> 00:02:02,560
And sea anemones who looked like pink palm trees swaying in the wind.

22
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:20,939
Then, hidden in the dark shade of rocks and weeds, he saw a school of little fish, just like his own.

23
00:02:20,939 --> 00:02:24,939
Let's go and swim and play and see things, he said happily.

24
00:02:24,939 --> 00:02:29,939
We can't, said the little red fish. The big fish will eat us all.

25
00:02:29,939 --> 00:02:35,939
But you can't just lie there, said Swimmy. You must think of something.

26
00:02:35,939 --> 00:02:54,340
Swimmy is thinking. What can they do?

27
00:02:54,340 --> 00:03:01,340
Swimmy thought and thought and thought. Then suddenly he said,

28
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:06,340
I have it. We're going to swim all together like the biggest fish in the sea.

29
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:14,340
That's a good idea. And look, he's the leader and they're following him.

30
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:21,939
He taught them to swim close together, each in his own place.

31
00:03:21,939 --> 00:03:25,780
and they do kind of look like a big fish

32
00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:27,539
when they're all together.

33
00:03:27,539 --> 00:03:30,719
And when they had learned to swim like one giant fish,

34
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,719
he said, I'll be the eye.

35
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:37,009
This is your eye.

36
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:43,349
And he is the eye of this giant fish.

37
00:03:43,349 --> 00:03:46,830
And so they swam in the cool morning water

38
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:50,969
and in the midday sun and chased the big fish away.

39
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:52,750
The end.
