I Need Pants!

"Fish has a wish for pants. But Octopus points out that fish don't wear pants because they don't have legs! So fish thinks and changes their wish to fuzzy bunny slippers (but fish don't have feet!), a pink tutu (but fish don't do ballet!), and then rainbow hair ribbons (but fish don't have hair!). At last, Fish exclaims: "WELL, I MUST NEED A RAINCOAT! IT IS VERY WET AROUND HERE!!!" And Octopus tells them that they do not need any clothes at all. After all, Fish don't wear clothes! But Fish doesn't need clothes, they just think that clothes would make their heart happy. Octopus frets at first and reveals the insecurity underlying their seemingly cool cynicism about pants what if other fish make fun of them? But when Fish acquires their very own pair of pants and has a blast parading them around the ocean, Octopus realizes that the emotional merits of pants make up for the lack of functional merits and potential embarrassment. Octopus gets pants too (four pairs, naturally!). An imaginative and goofy tale of friendship and being true to yourself even when your choices don't fit the status quo"--
