The Amomonies (small, furry, otter-like beings) love to fish. They happily pull fish, octopi, and so forth out of the ocean from their little boats. Then, one day, they find a whale moves to prevent their fishing. Thinking that the others are lying, Mom Amomony sets out to discover the truth. The whale confronts Mom Amomony, and shows her that her children are over-fishing, and depleting the ocean. The whale then teaches the Amomonies how to live in harmony with the ocean.
