"Fine, I'll Eat That Fish"


It’s late on a Friday afternoon

Tsuki hangs out on her branch


Tsuki: “Aloha everyone. I’m Tsuki.”

Tsuki: “I live on a branch in a kukui nut tree. Children look at me all day long.”

Tsuki: “Life is pretty good here at HNS. No complaints”

Tsuki: “Dad? Is that you?”

Dad: “I brought you a nice fish.”

Tsuki: “Thanks, Dad but… not interested.”

Tsuki: “Mum was just here stuffing me with fish. And you know mum.”

Tsuki: “Fine, I’ll take a look.”

Tsuki: “Hmmm… that’s not my favorite…”

Tsuki: “I think… not. Nope.”

Tsuki: “Is that an ant on my foot?”

Tsuki: “Maybe a baby centipede? Dad, is that a centipede?”

Tsuki: “Look, Dad, my wings! Before you know it I’ll be jetting around like you!”

Dad: “My daughter, if you don’t eat your fish, you’ll never jet about.”

Dad: “Children!”


10 MINUTES PASS

Not much happens.


Dad: “Tsuki, I’m begging you to reconsider. You don’t want to live on this branch forever.”

Tsuki: “What does this fish look like upside down?”

Tsuki: “Hey dad, I know a good upside-down-fish joke. Want to hear it?”

Dad: “Fish heads are tasty. Very tasty.”

Tsuki thinks: Maybe my old man knows a thing or two.

Tsuki: “You’re right!”

Tsuki: “Tasty!”

Tsuki: “Fish, glorious fish!”

Dad: “Try not to get into any trouble.”

Tsuki: “I haven’t had any squid recently. Maybe a baby? A baby squiddy?”

Dad: “I’ll see what I can do. No promises.”

Tsuki: “Oh, and I want to see Encanto. Do we have Disney Plus?”

Dad: “Later, Tsuki. Maybe much, much later…”
