- [Narrator] It's a beautiful underwater day in the ocean.

And baby fish, Muggles along with his best friend, Joy,

is scouring the seabed for yummy algae!

- Joy, I can't think of anyone better to search for algae

than with you!

- Same here, Muggles!

What could possibly be better

than doing what you were born to do

with your best friend in the whole world by your side?

- Nothing,

it's fin-tastic!

[laughing]

- [Narrator] And here is professor Shark.

He leads his school of fish and sea creatures

with a strong, but caring fin.

And he's always happy to see his school's youngest fish,

Muggles and Joy.

- Muggle!

Joy!

What a wonderful day we're having!

The currents are calm

and the sun's lighting up the ocean surface

like a million jewels!

Oh, I love days like today!

- So do we, professor Shark.

- That's right!

Jesus sure has blessed us with lives

and such a beautiful underwater universe!

- You little fish sure have your minds in the right place!

In fact, all of our fellow sea creatures

could learn a lot from you two!

- Really, but we're still so young?

How could Joy and I possibly teach anyone anything of value?

Especially older, bigger fish?

- Well Muggles that's easy,

by not losing sight of the simple blessings

Jesus has bestowed upon us.

Like this great big, beautiful ocean that surrounds us.

You swim in his riptide, serving your creator

and living your lives to the fullest.

- Wow I never thought of it like that professor Shark.

- Well now you can, Joy

and rest assured Jesus is very, very pleased with you,

both of you.

Say you two,

being that you're both so grateful

for what you have,

maybe you could help with a little problem we're having.

- A problem?

Of course.

- Yeah we love solving problems!

- Just ask Algebra Albacore,

we don't quit till we get it right.

- I see,

but it's not that type of problem

I'm speaking of, Muggles.

This is a problem of personal nature

with a dear, dear friend of ours

here in the great wide ocean.

- Oh who is it professor?

- Yeah and how can we help?

- Why it's scary Henry.

- Scary Henry?

- Scary? Henry?

- Yes scary Henry,

as you know he's always had a bad reputation,

but lately it's been getting even worse.

It seems Henry is unhappy,

but we're not sure why he's so unhappy.

He could use a little pep talk

from two of our best and brightest little fish in the sea.

- Us!

- Yes you two always seem very thankful

and understanding of the fact that we don't need very much

to notice and appreciate the wonder

that exists around us every day.

- Do you want us to try talking to scary Henry, professor?

We could let him know

that no matter what's going on in his life,

life itself is a gift.

- Yeah and it's never that bad

as long as we have all our fins and gills,

life's just peachy.

Even if we don't have all our fins and gills,

it's still peachy!

- Right, remember Clive the porpoise?

- Who could forget,

lost his dorsal fin in that tsunami last year.

- And discovered that he could swim faster in the currents

as a result.

- Streamlined.

- That's true my little fish,

why don't you go find scary Henry

and try to talk some sense into him.

If he needs some company invite him back to our reef,

no one should isolate themselves when they're feeling down.

It only compounds loneliness.

- We'll get right on it professor.

- Yeah off we go, come on Muggles!

It's a feel good mission.

- In Jesus's name.

- Amen.

[bubbling water sound]

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim off to find scary Henry

and get to the bottom of why he's so unhappy.

- There he is, hey scary Henry.

We haven't seen you around the reef in a while,

how are you doing?

- Life stinks like whale gas.

- Oh that's gross.

- Come on now, it's not that bad.

- Right, what's the deal Henry? You seem down in the dumps.

- What do you care?

You're two little fish with your whole lives ahead of you.

Me, I don't even have a reef to call home.

- Oh Henry that's a terrible way to look at things.

- Yeah look on the bright side big guy,

in the sea we're all family

and if you need a reef to call home, come back to ours.

- Our coral's open for you any time.

- Well okay.

- That's it?

Just eh okay?

- What, you want me to do some surface breaks or something?

- Well no, look all we're saying

is you may not be our same species,

but we think of you as family, Henry.

- And so does Jesus.

- Don't forget about him, he loves us all unconditionally

and if we're alive on this earth we're home,

because he made us and provided us

with an amazing playground in which to thrive

called the ocean.

- And I don't know about you Henry,

but there's no place else I'd rather be.

- That's cool, you two should go play,

I'm not much fun.

- But you can be, scary Henry.

- Yeah you try being the life of the party

when everybody calls you scary Henry.

It's easier said than done.

- I have an idea,

we'll go talk to Mrs Wuddley.

She's an old fish and she's been swimming

around these waters for a long time

and she likes everybody.

- And everybody likes her,

she's bound to have some wisdom to share.

- Come with us Henry!

- I'm good you guys move on,

if she says anything helpful you know where to find me.

- Okay Henry if you're sure.

- Bye now, don't let the seaweed tangle you on your way out.

- Eurgh, I hate it when that happens.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy find big old Mrs Wuddley

just as fast as their little fins can carry them,

which is surprisingly fast.

- Hi Mrs Wuddly, remember us?

- Joy, Muggles,

it's been so long.

My how you've both grown,

you were both hatchlings the last time I saw you.

- Time flies when you're having fun!

- It does indeed,

so tell me,

to what do I owe this wonderful visit?

- Our friend is in need Mrs Wuddly, he's feeling really down

and has lost sight of the important things in life.

- Which is the same as simple things.

- Well that's right Muggles

and I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

It sounds like this friend could use a lesson in gratitude.

- Gratitude?

- Yes it comes out of the habit of giving thanks.

Exercising regular gratitude to God

can work wonders in our lives,

and our bad moods.

- I see your point, I never get crabby

when I remember to regularly thank Jesus for everything.

- At times like this

it's never a bad idea

to refer to the good book, my sweet baby fish.

Like psalm chapter nine, verse one tells us,

I will give thanks to the lord with my whole heart,

I will recount all of his wonderful deeds.

Let your friend know that,

no matter the struggles or turbulence he currently faces,

Jesus is never out of sight.

When his children call on him he will answer,

always.

[whimsical music]

- [Narrator] Thanks to Mrs Wuddly's words,

Muggles and Joy returned to scary Henry

with some new advice

that hopefully yields a new reaction.

- Hey Henry, feeling any better?

- Do I look like I'm feeling any better?

- Yeesh, so Henry we spoke with Mrs Wuddly,

- And?

- And she let us know

that through Jesus all things are possible,

that no matter what we're facing,

faith in him and praise to him and thanks to him

will return his love to us

and as a result,

make our hearts richer and more fulfilled.

- Wow Joy, you said that so well.

- Hmm you know I'm a little more inspired just hearing that.

- Well then try this too,

psalm 9:1 tells us, I will give thanks to the Lord

with my whole heart.

I will recount all of his wonderful deeds.

- And he's got some serious wonderful deeds

if you think about it, just look around.

That's a smile, I see a smile.

- Oh that's definitely a smile.

- You for sure know how to make a guy feel better.

- All in a day's work in the ocean.

- We didn't do anything Henry,

it was all Jesus's doing,

it always is.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy returned to the reef

to see professor Shark

and tell him all they've learned about being thankful.

- Joy!

Muggles!

Were you able to find scary Henry?

- We sure were, professor!

- And he's more like happy Henry.

- Really?

Oh that's wonderful,

how in the sea did you open his eyes?

- Well Mrs Wuddley helped a little.

- [Muggles] And Jesus helped a lot!

- Ah as he is known to do,

my little fish.

As he is known to do.

- [Narrator] With a heart full of gratitude

and love for Jesus,

little Muggles and Joy head out to sea

for another fun filled adventure.

- Here we go Joy!

- Let's go Muggles!

- Woo hoo!

- Yay!

[waves splashing]

- [Narrator] It's a beautiful day in the ocean

and little fish Muggles and his best friend Joy

are swimming back to their reef,

after a fun day in the jet stream.

- Joy I have a lot of fun with a lot of fishes,

but you're by far my best friend in the whole ocean.

- Thanks Muggles, there's no one on our coral reef

nearly half as cool as you.

- Well of course I'm cool, I'm an ocean fish,

my body temperature hovers around 37 degrees celsius.

- Hmm are you sure you're not a clownfish?

- [Narrator] Low and behold, it's professor Shark

who always has a mission or a lesson ready

for his youngest fish.

- Muggles!

Joy!

Welcome home my dearest fish.

- We're glad to be back professor Shark.

- Yeah it's not easy swimming around

with all these new predators in the sea,

makes me thankful for friends.

- Great job fishes,

but I need to ask you to go back to the wide open sea.

- Go back out?

But why?

We were gone so long already today!

- Right!

If I eat any more, I'm afraid I might burst my scales!

- What do I always say Joy?

Swim with your mouth closed, so you won't gobble plankton.

- Well it seems there's an issues on the seabed.

It's our old friend Marlo.

- Marlo the swordfish?

What tangle can he possible have

that he can't cut himself free from?

[laughs]

- Marlo wasn't paying attention

and got himself stuck in seaweed

and as well all know,

if he can't swim and keep water rushing through his gills,

he can't breathe.

And if he can't breathe well.

- Oh no

- We'll save him professor Shark,

you can count on us.

- I know I can Joy, that's why I'm asking you two.

- Which way do we go?

- Yeah, do we have coordinates?

We'll find him fast if so.

- I'm afraid not, I'm not sure exactly where he is,

but his distress signal was picked up by Pickles.

- Good if he sent a distress signal we'll tap into it

and hone in on Marlo in a flash.

- But we're tiny,

I hope we can swim fast enough.

How long has Marlo been stuck professor?

- Several minutes at least,

there's no time to spare,

I know that!

Pickles is out there now searching,

he has a couple minutes headstart on you two.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy realize,

their friend is in trouble

and they have to help Marlo any way they can.

- We won't let Marlo down professor.

- Absolutely not, we'll go find Pickles right away

and make triple sure Marlo is rescued.

- Muggles,

Joy,

I'm so proud of your willingness to help others.

You know the importance of friendship don't you?

- We know we care about our friends.

- Exactly!

Why is it that friendship is so important professor?

- Love and friendship are the glue

that holds our world together Joy.

And just as importantly,

they're gifts from Jesus to be cherished and honored.

- We'll do everything in our power

to help a friend in need professor Shark.

- We'll go find Marlo and Pickles right now.

- God speed my little ones,

I pray you find and free our friend Marlo at once.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim like never before

to find Pickles and help their friend Marlo.

- I've lost Marlo's distress signal Muggles.

It's just gone!

- [Muggles] I lost it too, which way do we go?

- Pickles.

- Oh hi Joy.

- We heard about Marlo is he okay?

- Yes he did it, he freed himself from that seaweed.

You should have seen him, it was amazing.

- We came as fast we could, how did he get free?

- His sword, he is a sword fish you know.

So he used his nose

to slice right through those pesky weeds.

No seaweed could hold that fish down.

- Of course it can't, thank goodness he's built for speed

and packs a lot of power into that body of his.

- This is awesome news, Pickles,

can we see Marlo?

Which way do we go to find him?

- Yeah we want to congratulate him.

- And make sure he's okay.

- Sure thing, Marlo would love to see you guys

but be careful out there.

I don't wanna get another distress signal,

you know what I'm saying?

- Don't worry we don't want to send one.

- Ha ha!

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim quickly

to meet their friend Marlo.

- Marlo, thank the breaking waves you're okay.

- We came as fast as we could, are you injured at all?

Do you need anything?

- Muggles!

Joy!

What are you baby fish doing all the way out here

in the big open sea?

- We heard you needed us.

- And we're your friends.

- Wow I've never had friends

who'd risk their lives for me before.

I don't know what to say!

- You don't have to say anything to us.

We want to help and know that you're safe,

just because we care about you.

- Yeah, Jesus gave us a great friend in you Marlo

and we honor our friendship,

because we honor his gifts to us.

- We're so different,

some animals might wonder what do itty bitty fish

have in common with a big swordfish.

But we don't need to be the same to be great friends.

- Right!

In fact, what makes us so different

is part of what makes us so compatible.

- We appreciate you Marlo.

- [Joy] And we wanna be your friends

for a long, long time to come.

- Wow you guys, aw thanks.

- Don't mention it big guy.

- Yeah anytime.

- But don't make a habit

of getting into this kind of trouble, okay?

- For your own good.

[laughing]

- That's a great lesson in friendship

and an awesome thing you've done today little fish.

Just wanting to take care of a big swordfish like me,

without asking a thing in return.

But I have a reward for you.

Follow me!

- [Narrator] Thanks to their friend Marlo,

Muggles and Joy have found an algae bed

that stretches as far as their eyes can see.

It's more algae than their little stomachs can even hold

in one sitting.

- Wow Marlo, that is amazing!

- I've never seen an algae bed like this in all my life.

- All two weeks of it.

- I had just spotted this bed on my morning swim

and was headed back to tell the fish on your reef

where to find it,

when I swam into that seaweed and got all tangled up.

- And by coming to help you we ended up finding it anyway.

- Funny how that works isn't it?

- Jesus sure works in mysterious ways.

Hey the sun's going down up there, it'll be dark soon.

Let's feast on some of this algae,

then get back to the reef and tell the others.

Tomorrow we can all swim out here.

- And eat till our hearts are content.

- And our stomachs are full.

- That sounds great you guys.

You know you remind me of David and Jonathon from the bible.

- We do?

How so?

- Well in the old testaments, book of Samuel

it says after David had finished talking with Saul,

he met Jonathon the king's son.

There was an immediate bond between them,

for Jonathon loved David.

From that day on Saul kept David with him

and wouldn't let him return home

and Jonathon made a solemn pact with David,

because he loved him as he loved himself.

- Wow that sounds like some friendship.

- Tell us about their pact Marlo.

- Well the pact between David and Jonathon

included Jonathon giving David the clothes off his back,

his tunic, his sword, his bow and his belt.

Jonathon showed his loyalty to David

by giving David all that he had,

including his weapons.

Some time later when David fled Saul's wrath

he told Jonathon about his fears that Saul wanted him dead.

In response Jonathon actually turned against his own father.

Jonathon valued David's friendship more

than his position as heir to the throne of Israel.

That was the strength of the friendship between them.

- Wow.

- Maybe it's an extreme example,

but we can learn a lot of lessons from the bible.

And I feel like you two fish

showed me this level of friendship today.

There are many perils in the open ocean

and it's oftentimes no place for baby fish,

but you two came to find me without hesitation.

So,

know this,

you'll have a friend in Marlo forever.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy returned to see professor Shark

and tell him all they've learned about friendship.

- [Professor Shark] Muggles!

Joy!

You're back!

Is Marlo all right?

- Yes professor Shark,

we found Marlo and talked with him for a good while.

- Turns out he didn't need our help after all,

but he was very appreciative of the offer.

- I had a feeling he'd be okay,

that Marlo is one tough fish

and did we learn anything of friendship today?

- We sure did, Marlo shared a bible story with us

and we learned that the bond of friendship

is one of the strongest and more cherished gifts

Jesus has given us.

- Yeah we'll never turn our fins

on our friendship, professor.

- Any of our friendships.

- Friends till the end.

- Amen my little fish,

amen.

[Hawaiian music]

- [Narrator] With a heart full of gratitude

and love for Jesus,

little Muggles and Joy head out

for another fun-filled adventure in the sea.

- Here we go Joy!

- Let's go Muggles!

- Woo hoo!

- Yay!

- [Narrator] It's a beautiful day in the ocean

and little fish Muggles and Joy

are swimming back to their reef

after exploring other reefs for the first time.

- Joy, we sure did check out lots of new

and exotic coral reefs today.

- We sure did Muggles,

some of those fish live like kings and queens!

- [Narrator] Lo and behold,

here's professor Shark

he will be very interested to hear

what his littlest fish have been up to.

- Muggles!

Joy!

Welcome back, what have you two been up to?

- Hi professor Shark,

we swam around to so many coral reefs today,

introducing ourselves to new schools of fish.

I feel like my little fins might fall off.

- And we snacked on lots of algae too,

it grows dense out in some spots in the open ocean.

- So dense that we couldn't possibly eat it all,

so we started collecting algae.

- And passing it out to the fish at the reefs we visited.

- It sure is a great icebreaker

to show up at some stranger's coral reef

with a load of yummy algae for them

and their offspring to feast on,

while you all get acquainted.

- I'll bet it is, great job Muggles and Joy.

I'm sure those other fish

are so very thankful for your generosity

and we here at home appreciate all your hard work too.

- Thanks professor.

- Don't mention it, mingling is what we fish do best.

- It sounds like you collected quite a bit,

how in the world did you two find so much algae

to feed our neighboring reefs?

- Patty the whale told us about a brand new bed

where amazing algae grows.

- Ah!

Good friend Patty!

- She came across it when she was singing one morning

and thought of us.

- And when we saw it,

we realized there was so much fluffy algae.

We just had to share and deliver it to other fish.

- We could have just told them where to find it

but we were already there,

it didn't seem like a big deal to collect for the others.

- Yeah I mean, fish swim nonstop

we deserve a little downtime sometimes.

- You have a point Muggles and Joy,

that's so nice of you both.

And you two possess unbelievable strength

for such young fish.

- Strength?

I guess it does take muscles to carry that much algae.

- Oh that's not the strength I'm referring to Muggles.

Like the bible teaches us,

real strength is found in serving, not being served.

- Wow,

really?

- Really.

- So by giving the algae away instead of just taking algae,

we got closer to Jesus?

- Indeed Muggles

and I'm so proud of you both,

you've done such good today.

Why don't you take the rest of the day

to just play and be joyful.

- Okay.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy run into their friend Fizzy

who explains to them a little more,

why it's better to give than to receive.

- Hi Fizzy!

Long time no see.

- Yeah how go's it Fizzy?

I heard your family moved into a new coral cave.

- We did,

it's so cute.

Way bigger and more colorful.

How are you guys doing?

- We're great.

- Yeah we found a new algae bed this morning

and distributed algae to all the surrounding reefs

free of charge.

- Oh wow, that was nice of you.

I'm sure those fish are very happy.

- They were surprised for sure.

- I'll bet,

it's not every day

that two little fish show up at someone else's reef

to give away precious algae.

- It was pretty nice of us huh?

- Yeah we're pretty cool little fish aren't we?

- Yes but be careful of reveling too much in pride

Joy and Muggles.

- What do you mean Fizzy?

- Once Jesus said to his dinner host,

when you give a dinner or a supper

do not invite your friends, or brothers

or relatives, or rich neighbors,

for they will invite you in return and you be repaid.

But when you give a feast invite the poor, the crippled,

the lame and the blind.

Then you will be blessed,

for they have no way of repaying you

and you will be rewarded

when the upright rise from the dead.

- So giving from the heart because we want to

is better than expecting praise or reward,

or getting something in return for our generosity.

- That's right Joy.

- And Jesus would rather be humble,

not proud about our good deeds done in his name.

- Exactly Muggles.

- We should do something nice for Patty,

she showed us the new algae bed

without asking a thing in return.

- Right, but what can two tiny fish like us

do for a big 'ol whale like Patty?

- Don't let her hear you call her that Muggles!

She's a girl you know!

- Keep up the good work fish friends.

I think I'll learn a lesson from your kind deeds

and scout some coral caves for everyone.

Then see if any fish

would like to come and join our new spot

with me and my family.

- That's awesome Fizzy!

- Yeah let us know how it goes,

maybe we'll come relax at your cave sometime.

- Sure thing, see you soon!

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim up, up, up

to see their friend Patty the whale.

- Hey Patty!

- Joy, Muggles, what bring you two back out today?

- We just wanted to thank you

for showing us the algae bed this morning.

That was more delicious algae than we've ever seen.

And our neighbor fishes were delighted

by all the gifts we delivered.

- Isn't that wonderful,

well I'm happy to have been of service.

- We'd like to give you a gift as well Patty.

- Me?

No one's ever given me a gift before.

- Well we're about to change all that.

Follow us!

- Okay

- [Narrator] Much to Patty's surprise,

Muggles and Joy prepared a gift

that their beloved whale friend will not soon forget.

A yummy seabed littered with plump crustaceans,

a big whale's favorite treat!

- Okay Patty, here we are!

- Wow.

- What do you think?

- Look at them all!

Crustaceans are my favorite, thanks you guys!

- Don't mention it,

you were so kind to us earlier

we wanted to do something nice for you too!

- Aw you shouldn't have,

all I did was show you guys an algae bed.

- That's not all you did Patty,

you gave us an awesome gift

and didn't ask for a thing in return!

- Yeah and as a result we were able to share algae

with each and every fish around us in all directions.

- It felt great to give it away

and that was all because of your generosity.

- And now we'd like to deliver something

that you can enjoy.

- Your very own crustacean farm.

- You guys, what did I ever do to deserve such good friends?

- You've always been good to us Patty,

kindness comes back around!

- Enjoy!

- I will, you guys come back and see me again soon!

I'll be easy to find,

just look for the biggest whale you can find,

stuffed full of shrimp.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy return to their reef

to see professor Shark

and tell him all they've learned about serving.

- Muggles!

Joy!

Did you find Patty the whale?

- We sure did professor.

- And we gave her a gift of crustaceans,

her favorite!

- Oh my, I bet she was overjoyed!

- She sure was.

- The look on her face was priceless.

- And fulfilling Jesus's plan for us was even more priceless

wasn't it?

- Yes

- Serving others without being asked or coerced,

rewards our souls in ways we never imagine.

See, god created us to be good to one another

and when we exercise his plan,

we feel better about ourselves.

- Wow I understand.

- Yeah that's amazing.

- Jesus sure is awesome professor Shark.

- Oh that he is Muggles,

that he is.

- Let's go think

of who we can do something nice for tomorrow.

- Yeah!

- I'm so proud of you little baby fish!

Now rest up,

I'm certain tomorrow will be just as magical as today!

- Hooray!

- Praise Jesus.

- [Narrator] With hearts full of gratitude and love for god,

little Muggles and Joy swim forever onward

to be of the best service they can be.

- Time to serve, Joy!

- Let's go Muggles!

- Yeah!

- Yahoo!

[whimsical music]

- [Narrator] It's a beautiful day in the sea

and little fish Muggles and Joy

are swimming back to their reef,

after a fun day frolicking in open water.

- Today was such a fun day Muggles!

I love playing in the open water.

- It sure is a nice break

from scouring the reefs and ocean floor, I'll tell you that.

- But we didn't do the homework professor Shark

gave us for the day!

All we did was play!

Do you think professor Shark will be upset

that we're coming back without having done our homework?

- [Muggles] Hmm nah,

we'll just tell him the riptide's strong today

and we couldn't swim in one place long enough

to study the corals.

- Or we could say that the riptide was so strong

it blew all the corals we were supposed to study away.

- Yeah.

- Then we'll be sure to study extra hard tomorrow

to make up for it.

- Absolutely.

- [Narrator] And here he is,

professor Shark, the greatest teacher in the ocean.

He teaches his pupils with firm, but gentle fins.

- Muggles!

Joy!

What have you fishes been up to?

Did you study those corals like I asked you to?

- We had a heck of a time professor Shark,

the currents are so strong.

- We could hardly settle on a reef to study at all.

- We'll make extra sure we study hard tomorrow,

to make up for it.

- My little fish,

our other students inform me

that they observed you playing in the open water,

all day long.

- Oh.

- I'm so disappointed that you two

decided to lie to me about your day.

I've always admired how hard you study

and like to give all the fish in our school

the benefit of doubt.

Unfortunately

I see now that I can't always trust

what you tell me.

- Oh professor Shark,

I'm so sorry.

- Yeah we didn't mean to lie, honest!

- I know you didn't,

you two have always been among our school's best students.

However, you're both young and prone to flights of fancy.

You didn't study

and then lied about it.

- I feel terrible.

- So do I, I didn't mean to make myself

and certainly not Joy feel so ashamed and let down.

- That's what dishonesty and lying do Muggles.

They hurt us as well as the ones we tried to deceive.

- I understand that now.

- I can see this makes you feel terrible,

so I'll forgive you two,

but I'd like it very much

if you got together with your reef mate Mr Flips

and went to see Mr Sushi.

Perhaps he can shed some light on the power of moral purity

and a clear conscience.

My little fish,

you feel badly for a reason.

If you're truly sorry

then this can be a lesson well learned.

- We'll go right now professor.

- We want to make it right.

- Go on then Muggles

and Joy.

I'll speak to you both when you return.

[Hawaiian music]

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim to meet up with Mr Flips

and learn why moral purity and a clear conscience

are so very important.

- Um, hi Mr Flips.

I don't know if you've heard.

- About you guys lying to professor Shark?

Yeah I heard about it.

- Oh great,

now the whole reef will think we can't be trusted.

- Well you did tell a lie.

- But we didn't mean it, we usually study hard every day!

And it's not like we lie all the time.

- Yeah we just started playing and lost track of time.

We didn't want the professor

to think we were being lazy.

- But you were being lazy!

- I know, but--

- Wouldn't it have been better to fess up

and tell the truth?

Just say you made a mistake?

- Yes.

- Remember Muggles and Joy,

what the book of Timothy teaches us.

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young,

but set an example for the believers.

In speech,

in conduct,

in love,

in faith

and in purity!

- Wow

- It's a beautiful passage eh?

Try this one,

don't let anyone look down on you because you are young,

but set an example for the believers.

In speech, in conduct,

in love,

in faith

and in purity.

- My gosh.

- Let it sink in.

Professor Shark wants me to send you guys

to see that curmudgeon Mr Sushi.

If he won't set you straight, nobody will.

You ready to sail?

- Ready as we'll ever be.

- All right then, he's four knots that way.

Have a good swim!

- Okay.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim off to see their friend,

the grumpy Mr Sushi.

- Hey Mr Sushi.

- What are you two little fish

doing so far from your reef?

- Professor Shark sent us to see you!

- Oh so tell me,

what do you need?

- Well,

Muggles and I,

we kind of, um.

- We blew off our studies

and then lied about it to professor Shark.

- Geez you make it sound so bad.

- We were bad Joy,

I can see that now.

- Oh my, I always thought you two were good little fish.

Only a few weeks old,

two.

- See?

Our reputations are gonna be plankton from now on!

- That is unnecessarily so, Joy!

Why Muggles's right,

what you two did was wrong.

The great thing about our faith

is that in his infinite wisdom,

Jesus forgives.

- Even for two lying fishes

who don't deserve a second chance?

- Oh Joy

in Jesus's eyes

we all deserve

and get

our second chance

if we want one.

The curse of god is on the house of the wicked,

but he blesses the home of him who does right.

Surely he scoffs at the scoffers,

but to the modest

he ever shows favor.

- Wow.

- Now why don't you fish come with me,

I have something I would like you to see.

- [Narrator] As a result of their genuine sorrow

and regret for the mistake they made,

Mr Sushi leads the little fish

to a secret place,

where sits an old sunken ship.

- Here you go fishy,

this sunken ship is a secret place.

Only a few of us ocean old timers

know about.

- Wow

this place is amazing.

- Yes,

what's even better

there is so many a coral,

a seaweed,

a fish and a seashell!

You can study and learn

so many new things.

Your teacher will be amazed.

- This will be like playing and learning,

all rolled up into one.

- Adventures and learning!

- I can't wait get started!

Thank you Mr Sushi.

- I can clearly see

that you two regret the choice you made earlier,

and that your dishonest actions

are weighing heavily

on those small fins

and so can Jesus.

- Do you think Jesus forgives us Mr Sushi?

- He forgives you!

And he always welcome your honesty.

- Oh Mr Sushi we can't thank you enough.

We'll be honest and upstanding from now on.

Always in his name,

that's a promise!

Thanks Mr Sushi.

Hey Muggles, doesn't this beat lying?

- Sure does, lying feels crummy,

but having a clear conscience feels great.

- Let's get studying!

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy returned to the reef

to see professor Shark

and admit all they've learned about moral purity

and clear consciences.

- Well, did you learn anything valuable today

little fish?

- We sure did professor Shark.

- We learned that moral purity and a clean conscience

are both more important than we knew.

- They're the best way to honor ourselves, our loved ones

and Jesus.

- Muggles, Joy,

I'm so proud of you two!

You've shown you can learn from your mistakes

and be better fish as a result of them!

- We understand now professor

and we won't make that same mistake again.

- Oh and we have a little surprise for you.

- A little surprise?

- Yes, after we told Mr Sushi what we did

and how sorry we were about it,

he led us to a secret, sunken ship.

- We've learned so much about coral, sea sponges,

secret treasures and sea creatures

that live in the deepest waters.

We are going to tell you all about it!

- Well, well

how wonderful!

I'm excited to hear all about it.

See the blessed things that can occur

when we follow Jesus's plan.

- We do.

- We'll never stray again professor,

we love you, we love our reef

and we love Jesus too!

You can count on us.

- Oh my wonderful little fish,

you've made me very proud today.

Very proud indeed.

[water bubbling sound]

- [Narrator] Full of gratitude and love for god,

little Muggles and Joy head out

with clear consciences and pure hearts.

- Ah I feel great Joy!

- So did I Muggles.

- Praise god!

- [Narrator] It's a calm, pleasant day in the ocean

and little fish Muggles and Joy

are returning to their brand new coral reef,

after strong currents destroyed their old one.

- Muggles we did it!

All of us fish banded together today

and found ourselves a brand new reef home.

- Fishtastic!

No nasty old currents can keep our school down Joy.

The fish will always rise.

- Go fish team!

[Muggles and Joy laughing]

- [Narrator] And here is the famous professor Shark,

his school has seen peril more than once

during his years as teacher,

but just like always

he guides his fish through troubles with faith and grace,

in Jesus's name.

- Hi professor Shark.

- Hello my fish,

I want to commend you on a job well done today,

I'm so,

so proud of you.

Praise be to Jesus that we're blessed with young fish

as reliable as you two!

- Flattery will get you everywhere professor.

- No need to thank us, we're honored to serve,

you our teacher

and god our creator.

- Oh my wonderful little ones,

you should think about teaching a Sunday class

in our new reef,

for our even littler ones.

They could learn a thing or two from your resilience

and resolve.

- Hmm maybe we will.

It'd be a real privilege to help guide small fish.

- Yeah and we could give 'em lots of homework

to keep 'em occupied.

- Oh now, now Muggles

let's not get carried away.

You've learned a very important lesson today.

With the unfortunate loss of our old reef,

we could've given up and scattered our schools to the wind,

but we didn't!

- No way, we love our school.

- We all do Joy,

but love sometimes isn't enough

for creatures to bounce back from misfortune and failure.

Sometimes faith

and perseverance are required

to regain what we had before a hardship.

- I see,

we had faith that we could keep our school together

and we persevered in building our new home quickly.

- And now we're even stronger than we were

before that natural disaster.

- Exactly and part of exercising strength is helping others

who've been subjected to misfortune.

Our friend Boo Cakes is also having difficulty,

as his long time seabed was washed away

by the currents.

- Oh no, we need to go check on him.

- Yeah we need to find him and make sure he's okay.

- That's the spirit!

God speed my little ones,

I look forward to hearing how Boo Cakes

is handling his bad luck.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim to meet up with Pete

the wacky trumpet fish who can direct them to Boo Cakes.

- Pete did you hear about Boo Cakes?

- Whoa,

I sure did.

- Have you spoken to him?

Is he okay?

- He's feeling down right now

but his faith is strong.

- Well faith is half the battle.

Let's go see him,

maybe we can help his mindset.

- Or maybe we can help him rebuild,

us fish never quit!

- Go fish team!

- I'm sure Boo Cakes would be happy to see some friends!

Head that way, all the way to the tall blue corals,

you can't miss him!

- Thanks Pete.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim out

to see their good friend Boo Cakes the manta ray.

- Boo Cakes, we're so sorry to hear about your seabed.

We lost our reef.

- But we rebuilt and now our reef's bigger

and better than ever!

- That's nice, I'm happy for you.

- Hey Boo look alive it's not so bad.

You still have your health and we're still your friends.

- And Jesus still loves you.

- For sure, we can always count on Jesus no matter what.

- Through good times and bad.

- Especially bad.

- So I hear,

but I loved my seabed

it was all I had.

- Aw come on Boo, cheer up!

It isn't so bad that it can't be fixed.

- Joy's right Boo Cakes, overcoming great difficulties

is but one of the gifts Jesus has bestowed upon us.

- Yeah it's through faith and him

that we can find the strength we need to bounce back

after failure or misfortune.

- Yeah,

how so?

- Well as Jeremiah 8:4 tells us,

this is what the lord says,

you know if a man falls down he gets up again

and if a man goes the wrong way,

he turns around and comes back.

- Wow.

- And proverbs 14:32

tells us that the wicked are crushed by disaster,

but the godly have a refuge when they die.

- Now that's how we handle failure.

- But how can I find a new spot to live?

I'm just one manta ray.

- Don't talk about yourself like that Boo Cakes,

we're all perfect in Jesus's eyes.

We were made for a reason

and we possess all the tools we need to serve him,

which leads us to our own success.

- Why don't we look for new seabed spots Boo Cakes?

Don't stand around being sad,

some action will make you feel better

and it's also the best way

to honor Jesus's investment in us.

- Okay if you think it'll help.

- We do.

- [Narrator] Boo Cakes goes along with his fish friends

in an effort to feel better about things.

It doesn't happen right away,

but when it does he starts feeling better and better.

- What do you think about this reef Boo Cake?

- I love it!

- You see Boo Cakes?

Having faith and working hard towards a goal

does wonders for your attitude!

- It does!

Maybe I can settle someplace new,

after all.

- Yes.

- And maybe it can be even better than your old spot,

like our reef.

We lost everything, rolled with the punches,

then rolled up our fins and came back even stronger.

- Sometimes Jesus lets things happen for a reason Boo

and while it might not be apparent at the time,

there's always a valuable lesson waiting for us.

- You know I think you're right,

maybe this new seabed will be better for me

and all the other rays too!

By my calculations the square footage of this area

is three times my old place.

- You'll have more room to stretch out

and you'll be able to house more rays.

- I do love company,

thanks for stopping by you guys.

I don't know what I'd've done without you,

I was really low.

- Which isn't a bad place for a manta ray to be generally.

- Different kind of low, Muggles.

- Ah gotcha.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy returned to their reef

to see professor Shark

and tell him all they've learned about dealing with failure.

- Hi professor.

- Joy, Muggles,

you're back so soon.

How'd it go?

- Wonderfully, we helped Boo Cakes find a new seabed

and it's larger than his last one!

- It was awesome,

a dozen new manta rays came to check it out

and there was room for all of 'em.

- A dozen rays?

That's great.

I bet they're beside themselves.

- Well no, they all lined up.

- Being beside oneself means being really happy Muggles.

- Oh yeah.

- Anyway, we also learned quite a bit

about dealing with life surprises and failures

thanks to our old buddy Pete.

- Really?

Do tell.

- Well this is what the Lord says,

you know if a man falls down he gets up again

and if a man goes the wrong way

he turns around and comes back.

- Even stronger than before.

- Through unshakeable faith in Jesus.

- Life might knock us down a time or two,

but god has instilled in each one of us

the strength and knowledge to pick ourselves up

and keep going.

- And it's in those challenging times

that we learn more about ourselves

and him.

- Making us stronger.

- And better prepared.

- And wiser.

- Okay you two I get it

and so do you.

I'm so so proud of you

as always.

- [Narrator] Full of gratitude and love for god,

little Muggles and Joy go forth

ready for anything the new day holds in store.

- Let's swim Joy,

success is great, but failure's not scary.

- Not with Jesus on our side Muggles.

- [Muggles] Amen.

- [Joy] Amen.

[sound of waves crashing]

- [Narrator] It's another great day in the ocean,

and little fish Muggles and Joy

are swimming back to their reef,

after helping other fish clean up their own reef.

- Muggles it feels so good to help other sea creatures!

Some parts of the ocean

are getting full of things that don't belong there

like plastic bottles.

- And old tires.

- It feels great to help our fellow fish

keep their reef clean.

- That's true Joy and it doesn't take much to help others

and have a positive effect.

Just say you'll do it and keep your word,

easy.

- I know right,

come on let's see what the professor's up to today.

- [Narrator] Don't look now, it's professor Shark!

The beloved teacher of Muggles and Joy,

not to mention he's at the tippity top of his food chain.

- Hey professor Shark, how are things?

- Honestly?

They've been better Muggles.

- Oh no, what's wrong professor?

- It's Fizzy,

she promised Rosie she'd play with her today

you know how they both like to swim fast.

Anyway, she hasn't been around

and poor Rosie's very upset.

- Oh no, what do you think happened?

Is Fizzy sick?

- No, she's fine

as far as I know Joy.

- Huh, why do you think she would leave 'ol Rosie

in the lurch?

- I think she just forgot, Muggles.

- Forgot?

That sure seems inconsiderate.

- Yeah, sounds like Rosie had her little heart set on it.

- She did Joy, she really did.

Alas it didn't happen.

- Maybe she's on her way, she ran late or something.

- The day's almost over now.

It'll be dark soon

and the fish will settle into their reefs

and seabeds for the night.

Oh well.

- Maybe we can find Fizzy, professor.

We'll get to the bottom of this

and see what happened.

Maybe Rosie can still get some good playtime today

after all.

- Would you?

What kind little fish,

I know it would mean so much to Rosie,

I do hate to see her so let down.

- We're on it.

- Off we go!

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy swim double time

to find little Rosie,

who is still waiting at the playground,

looking oh so sad for missing her play date.

- Hi Rosie.

- Hey Rosie, how goes it?

- Not great, it's been a bad day.

How are you guys?

- We were good until professor Shark told us

about your play date with Fizzy.

- We didn't have a play date.

- We heard,

I bet there's a good reason it didn't happen though,

maybe Fizzy got sick.

- Or slept in.

- With the way Ronnie the redfish

blows bubbles every morning?

I doubt it, he's loud enough to wake a starfish.

- Well maybe,

maybe she left the reef

to run an errand.

- Yeah maybe she left the reef.

- Or maybe she just forgot all about me,

you thought of that?

- Oh Rosie,

I'm sure there's a super reason

Fizzy no-showed on your play date.

I'm just sure of it.

- Does it matter?

I guess I'll just get ready for a nap,

I'm getting tired anyway

waiting around all day for nothing.

- Hey let's give Fizzy the benefit of the doubt huh?

Remember that time her fin got stuck

in those Atlantic fiber optic cables?

- Or the time she thought she was slim

and got herself stuck in the porthole of that sunken ship.

- Or that time she got swept up in the crab fisherman's net.

- Oh Fizzy, she's so clumsy.

- [Muggles] Really, knowing Fizzy there's a million reasons

why she didn't show up Rosie.

- Yeah.

- You guys, thanks for trying to cheer me up

but it's just disappointing that's all!

Fizzy probably doesn't want to play with me,

that's all.

I always though Fizzy was my best fish friend

in the whole ocean.

I guess she doesn't feel the same way.

- Hey Rosie before you turn in for a seabed nap,

what do you say we find Fizzy and see what's going on?

- No she obviously doesn't want to see me.

I'm just a little pink fish after all.

- No, come on Rosie!

You're our friend, come with us.

- I really don't feel up to it guys,

thanks anyway.

- Well then do you mind if we look for her?

- No.

- Will you wait up for us?

Maybe we'll discover a reason that'll make you feel better.

- Yeah, we don't wanna see you so bummed out Rosie.

- Oh

okay.

- Yay!

- We'll be back soon Rosie,

wait up for us.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy fly out to see Fizzy

and ask what happened to her plans with Rosie.

- Muggles, Joy, hey guys.

What are you two doing in town today?

- We're looking for you Fizzy.

- We're here for a good friend,

we were hoping to find you so you can help us help her.

- Oh yeah, who's your friend?

- Rosie.

- Rosie?

I can't wait for our play date tomorrow,

we're gonna have so much fun.

- Funny you mention that Fizzy,

because we heard you were supposed to go out and play today.

- Today?

No we talked about playing on Thursday.

- Fizzy, today's Thursday.

- No oh,

oh no!

I'll bet Rosie is so upset.

Is she okay?

Is she?

Oh I mixed up my days!

I'm just a clumsy little fish you know.

My sense of direction is terrible

and my memory is nothing to write home about either.

Oh I feel terrible!

I promised, what can I do?

- How about you come back with us

and apologize in the fish to Rosie?

- Yes that's the least I can do.

- Okay then here we go.

- [Narrator] Fizzy, Muggles and Joy go looking for Rosie.

- Fizzy where have you been?

I've been waiting all day for you.

- Hey Rosie.

- I'm so hurt and sad!

I thought you'd never show.

- Aw Rosie, I'm so sorry.

- You are?

- Yeah I want to apologize

for skipping out on our play date today.

I forgot what day it was.

- Really?

Oh I was looking forward to it.

I thought you didn't want to be my friend anymore.

- What?

Rosie no,

we are best friends.

I would never,

oh I mess up everything!

I'm just a clumsy little fish.

- Hey don't say that Fizzy, you're my friend.

- You still wanna be my friend,

after I left you high and dry today?

- Sure I do,

I'm a pink fish we're loyal to the end.

- Oh Rosie, I don't deserve you,

but if you say so I'll take your friendship any day.

- Hey you wanna play tomorrow?

- Um that's Friday right?

- Yes.

- Yes I do.

- [Narrator] Muggles and Joy return to their reef

to see professor Shark

and tell him all that they've learned

about keeping the promises we make.

- Professor Shark we are back.

- So I see Joy,

I wanted to see how it went for you two out there.

Were you able to find Fizzy?

- We sure were.

- And?

- It's all fixed no hard feelings.

- Oh?

- Fizzy forgot what day it was.

- She what?

I swear that fish would forget her own scales

if they weren't attached.

- We definitely learned something though,

it's important to keep the promises we make.

- Yeah for ourselves, our friends

and for Jesus who keeps track of everything we do

and every choice we make.

- That's right Joy,

like the bible's book of Joshua tells us,

so the lord gave Israel

all the land he had sworn

to their forefathers

and they took possession of it and settled there.

The lord gave them rest on every side.

Just as he had sworn to their forefathers,

not one of their enemies withstood them.

The lord handed all their enemies over to them.

Not one of all the lord's good promises

to the house of Israel failed.

Every one

was fulfilled.

- God leads by example,

Jesus keeps his promises and so should we,

always.

- That's right Muggles,

a promise to a friend is no different

than a promise to Jesus

and you wouldn't skip out on a play date with Jesus

would you?

- No.

- [Narrator] With souls brimming with faith

and love for Jesus,

Muggles and Joy set out to spread his word far and wide

throughout the sea to the four corners of the world.

- Praise Jesus, Joy.

- Always and forever Muggles.

- [Muggles] Woo hoo!

[joyful music]

[calypso music]
