The Sea promises to teach her fish how to read so they will be safe from harm if she ever needs a break again.

The Sea holds a deep affection for her fish children, and every day, she takes the time to read to them. However, one day, when the fish become particularly rowdy, the Sea decides to disappear in search of some peace and quiet. Initially, the fish children revel in the opportunity to misbehave, but soon they realize the absence of their beloved storyteller. A cunning cat emerges, offering to read them a story on the condition that they allow it to consume the fish afterward. Desperate to have someone read them a bedtime story, the fish reluctantly agree to the cat's terms.
However, it is only after the cat finishes their tale that the full consequences of their decision dawn on them. They burst into tears, their salty tears bringing the Sea back to their side. Much to the cat's dismay, the Sea returns, much to the relief of the fish. In a moment of compassion, the Sea vows to teach her fish how to read, ensuring their safety even when she needs a break.
