Where do you live?
Underwater
Where?
At the bottom of the Ocean

I don’t know
Is your mom a fish?
No
Is you dad a fish?
No
Do you have gills?
No
How do you breathe?
I don’t
I see
Sometimes I do it
How?
I come to the surface
Ok
Then I go back down
Can you speak while you breathe?
I don’t breathe
Oh right
I don’t speak either
Oh
I think I’m a fish
Do fish not speak?
I don’t know
Do you know other fishes?
I’m the only fish
Oh ok
And I don’t speak
We’re speaking right now
Who is we?
I don’t know
That’s right
I thought you knew
I do
Oh you do?
So do you
I do?
We both know
How?
We’re me
We’re a fish?
We think so
Why do we not talk to others?
Because we’re a fish
Oh right
And fish don’t talk
And others don’t talk to us?
Yeah
Because we’re a fish?
Because we’re a fish
I see
Do you like being a fish?
I didn’t know I was one
Now you know
Can fish be loved?
I don’t know
Can fish love?
Yes
How?
We don’t talk about that
Can other know that fish love them?
I don’t think so
How sad
Very sad
I don’t like being a fish
We agree

No
So what do we do?
We hope we’re wrong
