Caption The Fish That Didn’t Want to Be a Fish
"A little fishy, there in the pool, cried all day long"
Oh, I’m so bored, I’m nodding off,
I can only make bubbles instead of a song.
I’m sick of being a fish
The book by Paul Kor is about a fish that is bored with its life and tries living like other animals.
