Don’t Trust Fish
by Neil Sharpson
Why, dear reader, must you NEVER EVER trust fish? 1) They spend all their time in the water where we can’t see them. 2) Some are as big as a bus–that is not okay. 3) We don’t know what they’re teaching in their “schools.” 4) They are likely plotting our doom.

And the kangaroo (named Abigail) that appears under that same table can help bring in groceries. But when there are penguins in the fridge, the forks and knives are running around, and the salt and ketchup are acting up, there is only one thing to do: pack everyone in the camper and go on vacation!

Sus amigos intentan enseñarle unos cuantos pasos, pero por mucho que Jim se mueva, se contonee y se pavonee, no la pasa nada bien… hasta que Búfalo confiesa que él también se siente un poco incómodo. ¿No será que, de vez en cuando, sentirte un poco nervioso es normal?
