[narrator] Red Fish and Blue Fish
saw something bad.

Their little friend was crying
and feeling so, so sad.

[sad music playing]

Little Fish explained
he had packed his things with care,

but now he had to move them
all the way up there.

[both] Eh?

[both gasp]

[grunt worryingly]

Uh-huh!

[narrator] Blue Fish smiled
and said their friend was in luck.

The two of them would move
every item from the truck.

Little Fish was impressed.

So he asked his new friend
