Ah.
I think I'll call this masterpiece, "Art For My Friend Splash."
Huh?
Huh?
Guys, I know you're back there!
If you want to see my sand pattern, just come out and look!
[gasps] Who are you?
Another puffer fish!
Are you my twin?
- [giggles] Hi, my name is Puffy.
Who are you?
- I'm Dunk.
Wait, you look like me.
But you don't sound like me.
- That's 'cause I'm a girl puffer fish and you're a boy puffer fish.
- Right, I'm a boy puffer fish, silly me!
- You're funny!
- No, you're funny!
[both laughing] So where did you come from?
- I live on another reef, and well...
I was just swimming by, and, well...
I came to tell you that I really like your sand art.
- Oh!
Uh, this usually doesn't happen.
I'm just a little bit.. - Nervous?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Your art is so detailed.
The patterns are beautiful, and uh... Ah!
- Hey!
You puffed up too!
- So is it noticeable?
- You bet it is, and I love it!
- Really?
[Dunk deflates] Of course!
Finally, someone else who really understands what it's like to be a puffer fish.
- Um, well, I'm really glad to know you, Dunk.
And, um, maybe you can show me around your reef?
I'd really like to see it.
- I'd love to show it to you.
[both laughing] - Ahh!
- Ahh!
[both laughing]
