One morning, the swallow went to the seaside to find some insects to eat. When flying over a beach, the swallow found a small fish lying on the beach.
This small fish is more than ten centimeters long and is oblate. Its light blue skin has star-shaped spots, and a pair of big eyes like light bulbs protrude from its head.
"The small fish must have been pushed ashore by the huge waves set off by the sea!" The swallow thought, "no, I have to save him." If I stay here for a long time, he will definitely die of lack of water! " "
Thinking of this, the swallow shouted to the little fish, "Little fish, go back to the sea quickly!" " "
However, the swallow shouted a few times, but the fish didn't respond at all.
"Shall I take you back to the sea?" Swallows hover over the small fish and ask as they fly.
However, no matter how the swallow asks, the little fish just doesn't talk. The swallow thought that the little fish was going to die and could not speak, so he felt a little sad.
Just as the swallow was worried about the life of the little fish, she found that the little fish actually regarded the fin as pulp, and walking on the beach was like paddling in the sea.
Seeing that the little fish is not in danger for the time being, the swallow urged, "Go back to the sea quickly, it will be too late after a long time!" " "
No matter how the swallow cries, the little fish just goes its own way. The swallow thought that the little fish was confused by lack of water, so he flew to the little fish and wanted to pick him up and send him back to the sea. Just then, the swallow suddenly saw the ventral fin of the fish touch the ground, wagged its tail and pushed the ground hard, and then jumped forward more than a foot. s/
"Oh, what can I do!" The swallow thought it was the last struggle of the little fish before she died. Because swallows have seen it many times, those fish caught by fishermen will jump desperately before they die.
He used his quick wits. At this moment, the swallow suddenly remembered that he could build a nest with dirt. Why not pack water to save the little fish?
The swallow spread its wings and flew to the seaside. It took a bite of seawater and sprinkled it on the small fish. Next, the swallow shuttled back and forth between the small fish and the sea, took a sip of seawater and sprinkled it on the small fish.

Just as the swallow came to the little fish with a mouthful of water to sprinkle on it, suddenly, something unexpected happened. With a "poof", the swallow first saw a stream of water coming out of the mouth of the little fish. Then, I saw the little fish jump into a nearby pool.
"Thank you, Little Swallow!" The little fish showed its head in the water and said, "I don't need water!" " "
"You are alive at last!" Swallows are surprised and happy.
"I'm not dead!"
"So you can talk!"
"Yes, I can talk!" Fish said, "I couldn't speak just now because there was water in my mouth."
"What are you doing with water in your mouth?"
"To breathe!" Fish said, "Don't you know that we fish breathe through gills? What can we do without water? "
"Then hurry back to the sea!" The swallow said, "There is so little water here that it will soon dry up."
"Never mind, I can dig the water myself." The little fish said, "Look, I dug these puddles nearby."
"You don't have hands, how can you dig?" s/
"Look, dig like this!" Say that finish, the little fish drilled with his head for a while, and then planed with his fin. Before long, the puddle where the fish was located was big and deep.
"So you don't want to go back to the sea?" The swallow said, "How wonderful the sea is! There are endless water and insects."
"Haha, there are countless natural enemies!" Fish said, "We came to live on land just to escape from natural enemies."
"Oh, so you are a mudskipper!"
"yes." The fish said, "Because my back is blue, my friends call me blue-backed mudskipper."
The swallow said, "This is the first time I have heard this name. This is the first time I know that there is a kind of fish that lives like this. "
Blue-backed mudskipper said, "Knowing each other is a friend. Tell me, what are you doing by the sea? "
"In the mountains and farmland, people use pesticides to kill insects. We swallows can find fewer and fewer insects. I want to go to the seaside to see if there are any edible insects here. "
"Easy!" Blue-backed mudskipper said, "Come on, I'll take you to a good place to find bugs to eat."
After that, the blue-backed mudskipper jumped out of the puddle with a mouthful of water and climbed into a dense mangrove forest.
Swallows also fly to mangroves.

From the moment they flew into the mangrove forest, the swallows were fascinated by what they saw. I saw countless mudskippers, some jumping around in the mud, some quickly shuttling through the mangroves, and some making holes in the mud. When they saw the arrival of the swallow, they all seemed surprised and tried to hide themselves in the most ingenious way.
"Friend, don't be afraid!" Blue-backed mudskipper pointed to the swallow and said, "It's called Swallow, and it's a kind friend."
The mudskippers watched the swallows warily, and when they found that there was really no danger, they became active again.
Blue-backed mudskipper is really right. There are all kinds of insects in mangroves. Swallows fly in the bushes and enjoy delicious food.
After eating and drinking enough, the swallow wants to say goodbye to the blue-backed mudskipper and return to his hometown.
When flying to a bush, the swallow saw the blue-backed mudskipper looking for diatoms to eat in the puddle. The swallow told the blue-backed mudskipper what he thought.
Blue-backed mudskipper said, "Don't go back, just settle down here!" " " s/
The swallow said, "My relatives and friends all live inland. They will miss me. "
"Ba-ba-ba-"
Before the swallow finished speaking, suddenly, the sound of fish hitting the water was heard not far away.
The swallow looked inside and saw a group of mudskippers besieging a big crab.
"What are they doing?" The swallow asked curiously.
Blue-backed mudskipper said: "Big crabs often sneak into our house to steal fish eggs and young fish, and each of our mudskippers is no match for crabs. In order to survive, we must unite and cooperate to drive away the big crabs! "
As the "click" sound becomes louder and louder, more and more mudskippers gather around the big crab. The mudskippers jumped up in turn and hit the big crab with their own bodies. The big crab knew that he was no match for the mudskipper and ran away in frustration.
"What a clever mudskipper!" Swallows are afraid of mudskippers. He is thinking, what can we do to make the living environment of swallows better?
The swallow thought, bid farewell to the blue-backed mudskipper and flew to his hometown.
