Nice Hat is now dewicked


In this story, a little fish is swimming as fast as he can. He explains that the NiceHat that he is wearing does not belong to him. He stole it. But it's okay, because as soon as he can reach that big forest where all the trees grow close together, he will be safe and no one will ever find him.
