Little Fish

A heartwarming story about friendship and loneliness


One little fish swam in his dish. 🐠🏺
He blew bubbles and made a wish. 💭✨
All he wanted was another fish
To swim with him in his little dish. 💙


Another fish came one day 🐠➡️🐠
To blow bubbles while they played. 🫧🎮
Two little fish blowing bubbles in the dish. 🐠🐠🫧
Swimming around,
Singing plish, plish, plish. 🎵💧
