Find out how one smart fish can change the world!

Long ago in the deep ocean, there lived . . . one smart fish! He wasn't the biggest and he wasn't the boldest, but he was the cleverest. What this smart fish wanted more than anything else was to walk upon the land.

But everyone knows that fish can't walk . . . can they?
