Plot
In the ocean's depths, a small fish is fleeing after having stolen a bigger fish's hat. The bigger fish realizes his hat is gone and pursues the thief. The little fish swims along, pleased with the hat, hoping to escape into the thick grasses. The bigger fish catches up to him and retrieves his hat; the book does not reveal the fate of the little fish.
