Little fish is little, but its head is large. Its heart beats too quickly for its head.
Little fish is asthmatic. It cannot breathe outside of water.
Little fish wants to jump out the pond to see the ocean. Maybe go even further, to the small fires that pierce through the waves at night.
But little fish is too small for the ocean and its asthma would be worsened by pollution. So it stays a little longer.
Little creature with its heart so weak and stressed, it nearly forgot the pond is running out of air.
Quickly, jump to the ocean, fly like the little fires, catch one on the way.
Little fish is excited and chooses a shining fire to follow.
Little fish shoots up, little fish shoots down, little fish meets the ground.
The fire little fish followed wasn't above the ocean. Neither was it on land.
Little fish sighs, not looking up at the fire it chose but at the ones dancing on the waves.
Little fish sighs.
