Barry The Fish with Fingers
by Sue Hendra
(MUSIC)
Puffy the puffer fish could blow the BEST bubbles.
Other fish would come from miles around to see his bubble-blowing show.
(SOUNDS OF BUBBLES)
Big bubbles,
small bubbles,
round bubbles,
square bubbles -
they had never seen anything quite so amazing until...
They caught sight of Barry.
Barry was no ordinary fish.
Barry was a fish with fingers!
Suddenly, everyone wanted to find out more about the amazing fish with fingers.
"What can your fingers do, Barry?" they asked.
"Tell us, tell us!"
"Well," said Barry "Fingers mean
"Finger painting,
knitting
cutting,
and, FINGER PUPPETS!
But best of all, fingers mean..."
"T I C K L I N G!"
The fish had never had so much fun.
"Come on, Puffy join us!" said Barry.
But Puffy didn't want to join in.
He was feeling sad.
"Now, nobody wants to see my bubble- blowing show", he sighed.
I hate Barry's fingers. They're stupid.
So, while Puffy sulked on his own, Barry and the other fish had a whale of a time
chasing each other through sea caves in and out of seashells and through the seaweed.
But, all of a sudden, Barry stopped dead in his tracks.
He heard a loud splash
and a rumbling noise.
Then the sea got darker and a big shadow covered the ocean.
"Oh, no!" cried Barry.
"Oh, no!" cried the fish. A huge crate had fallen into the water
and it was going to squash Puffy.
"Quick, Barry do something!" cried the fish.
And that was when Barry did something truly amazing
-- he pointed!
"Look out, Puffy!"
With a loud CRASH! The crate hit the sea bed.
Was it too late?
Had poor Puffy been squashed?
Phew!
No, he hadn't.
"Thank you, Barry," said Puffy.
"You saved my life. I'm sorry for being a grumpy spoilsport.
Can we play tickle chase?"
But Barry had a better idea.
"LET'S PARTY!"
"Take it away, Puffy!" he cried.
So Barry played the piano.
Puffy blew the trumpet
and everyone had the BEST time ever.
