Little Sara lives in the country, where the only thing she misses is some friends to play with. At least until she meets the little goldfish that will soon become her best friend. That little fish, in fact, is not a normal fish but Gino the goldfish, a talking fish, and a very wise one indeed!
With Gino in her room Sara is happier than ever, but when she realizes that the goldfish misses his parents she finds out that being a good friend means also giving up something for the joy of the ones who love you.

This short story is included in the Goodnight Little Friends collection.
