STORY TELLER
"Out in the sea, there are creatures. Sea creatures. Fish, Octopus, dolphins, there are so many living things that struggle to survive. They live under the surface of the ocean, engulfed in water. We live above the surface, on the land. We live in two separate worlds but that doesn't mean we are that far away form each other, for they live just below our noses. We haven't been very good neighbors to them lately and the sea creatures have been paying for it. We have been dropping trash and debrea in their home and killing them. Its time we stop littering and clean up this mess before anyone else gets hurt." The fish swims across the stage. Making noises, talking, laughing. it's a regular school day. The teacher fish swims in to view.

A turtle bravely adventured up to the surface and collected some Land things from the beaches." She rushes the a bucket across the stage. The fish talk excitedly about the land items. The teacher rushes back to show her students. " All right class, come up here one at a time to look." She sets the bucket on the floor and the fish all rush to the bucket at once, knocking the teacher over. The fish silence as one fish pulls free of the wave of fish, holding a plastic bag.
