When her tears of sadness fall into the water, the Magic Fish reappears and assures her it is all for the best. But the boys and girls living on the land make fun of the little boat girl because she is so different from them. But when a fierce storm arrives and threatens to drown several of her schoolmates, it is the boat girl and the magic fish who save them. This is a story of a way of life of the South China Sea. Yet its application is universal, as children learn not to ridicule someone simply because he or she is different.
