It was a cloudy day and Liam the black fish was swimming in the river. Liam was hungry and looking for food. He swam up to the green weed and took a bite. Oh no! The green weed had a hook in it. Liam was stuck! The fisherman pulled Liam out of the water and put him in a keeper bag. The fisherman looked down to put more bait on the hook, and suddenly, along came a pelican. The pelican stole the keeper bag and flew away with it. A loud bang of thunder scared the pelican and the keeper bag dropped into the water. How would Liam get out? A crab came along and snipped open the bag. Liam the black fish was free!
