This is the story of the fish with the umbrella and its magical secret.

The fish lives in a picture at a museum. It has to remain perfectly still and can never, ever laugh. But it wants to have an adventure! It remembers some magic words, and – hocus-pocus! – it’s free, and the picture is empty. Simply impossible! Simply unbelievable! Simply fantastically-sensational!

What adventures await the little fish? What’s the secret of its magic umbrella? And will it find a friend to share it all with?
