Unseen Passage - Billy the Clownfish
Billy was feeling down in the ocean. As a clownfish, he believed he should be amusing. However, as a clownfish, he wasn't humorous.
He wasn't funny at all. He was quite serious and couldn't make anyone laugh.
He shared jokes with the tigerfish, but they didn't find it funny. He shared jokes with the pupfish, but they didn't laugh either.
"I am a clownfish, and I should be funny," Billy expressed aloud.
"You don't have to be funny," said a dolphin from nearby. "You are kind and helpful. You are friendly and smart."
"But clowns make people laugh, so a clownfish should make fish laugh," said Billy.
"The tigerfish do not act like tigers. The pupfish do not act like puppies," the dolphin explained.
"Billy, just be yourself."
So, Billy did just that. He stopped trying to tell jokes. Soon, the fish all liked him. Soon, he had a lot of fish friends.
One day, Billy said, "I am going to tell you all a joke."
"Billy, no! No more jokes!"
Billy said, "Just kidding!"
