Dreams   Are  Real?   There  once  was  a  fish  named  Ty  who   lived  in  the  world  where  fish  could  live   outside  of  water  and  the  humans  were  the   ones  that  lived  in  water.  He  always  had  a   dream  of  going  to  New  York  City  to  become  an   actor.  His  parents  Jim  and  Keri  always  told   him  that  he  would  never  make  it  into  the  big   leagues.  He  got  mad  one  night  and  went   upstairs  and  went  to  bed  to  see  if  he  could  get   some  sleep  before  school  tomorrow.      Ty  fell  asleep  almost  instantly  and  that   is  when  he  started  to  dream  a  dream  that  was   very  unique.  Once  he  got  there  he  noticed   there  was  not  a  one-­‐yard  radius  around  him   without  other  fish  in  that  radius.  He  saw   stores  everywhere  with  clothes  that  he  had   only  seen  on  TV  back  at  home  in  Idaho.  Ty   decided  to  go  find  himself  a  nice  little   apartment  that  overlooked  Times  Square  so   when  New  Years  came  he  would  have  a  front   row  seat  at  seeing  the  ball  drop.  On  his  way  to   see  an  apartment  he  saw  fliers  that  were   looking  for  people  to  audition  for  the  play   “The  Giants  of  the  Mountain”,  he  took  a  flier   and  submitted  a  audition  application.  Once  he   found  an  apartment  he  went  and  got  a  job  at   the  local  donut  shop.  He  wanted  time  to  build     up  some  of  his  savings  before  he  got  to   busy  with  his  Broadway  shows.     He  got  a  letter  in  the  mail  a  few  weeks   after  he  moved  that  said  he  had  been  invited   to  an  audition  for  the  play  “The  Giants  of  the   Mountains”.  The  audition  was  a  week  later.  He   wanted  to  be  Lane  the  fish  that  saved  the   town  from  mass  destruction  of  the  giant  fish   that  invaded  it.  So  he  went  to  the  auditions  for   Lane  the  fish.  He  preformed  for  the  judges  and   felt  like  he  had  done  a  very  good  job  with  his   performance.  Ty  was  told  if  he  got  the  role  he   would  know  by  2  pm  the  next  day.  So  while  he   was  at  the  donut  shop  he  got  a  call  from  the   judges  saying  he  had  gotten  the  lead  as  the   hero  Lane.  Everyone  was  so  excited  for  him   that  his  boss  Duffy  let  him  go  home  early  from     A  week  later  they  started  to  practice   the  play.  He  realized  this  was  going  to  be  very   difficult  to  memorize  all  of  his  lines  that  he   had  to  say.    So  whenever  he  was  at  work  when   there  was  no  customers  every  employee   would  take  a  part  and  they  would  run  through   his  lines.  A  month  later  the  actual   performance  came.  It  started  off  with  a   regular  teenage  fish  named  Lane  who  had   fallen  in  love  with  a  girl  named  Jazell.  Then  all   of  a  sudden  the  city  of  New  York  was  under   attack  by  the  giant  fish  that  lived  in  the   mountains.  The  fish  of  New  York  realized  that   some  explosives  that  were  left  behind   following  the  war  had  opened  the  cave  in  the   mountain.  Once  the  giant  fish  got  into  the  city   every  fish  panicked.  Lane  ran  toward  the   statue  of  liberty  to  see  if  he  could  see  where   15
