Part 5: Ho-mi the Puffer Fish

Ho-mi was a puffer fish who had seen some of the water from Mount Muri and he knew that many people wanted to drink that water. Now, as tasting water was very important, Ho-mi decided to make a sandwich.
“Yep, this sandwich tastes good man, real good and, you know, there’s water in it, so yeah, how about that?” With this in mind, Ho-mi started to make sandwiches for people who would try and walk up Mount Muri. After the first week of eating the sandwiches that he was offering people, Ho-mi decided that he ought to call the sandwiches, water.
“Like, yep, there’s water in these sandwiches and so yeah, you know, water’s where it’s at. Actually, you know, I think I’ll, yeah, carbonate the water, that’s what I’ll do. Give it a bit o’ fizz for the biz. Yeah, that’ll go down well.”
Now it just so happened that Aho came across Ho-mi eating (drinking) his sandwiches (water).
“Hello, are you offering sandwiches to people on the way to Mount Muri?”
“Hey ho, I’m Ho-mi. I started offering water a week ago.”
“Well, water is important.”
“Yep, yep. That’s right. You look like you’ve seen water before. It’s good that we see eye-to-eye, so yeah, we ought to… collaborate, yeah, and work together. If people can’t get to Mount Muri, they can have some of my water. I do my best to offer water so that they can, you know, keep up their electrolyte levels. That’s why I carbonate it. Give it a bit o’ fizz for the biz, you know.” Ho-mi offered Aho a sandwich, “Here you go man, have some water.” Aho reached for the sandwich and went to take a bite before Ho-mi stopped him.
“No dude, you don’t eat it man, you put it on your head.”
“Excuse me?”
“Yeah man, you put it on your head and you know, you let the water, you know, the bubbles, soak into your head.”
“Into your head?”
“Yeah, dude, carbonated water is really good for this. You got to, you know, top up your electrolyte levels all the time man.” Aho noticed that Ho-mi’s body was swelling and expanding the more he spoke.
“Ho-mi, please be careful, you seem to be swelling and expanding the more you speak!”
“Relax dude, I’m just offering water to help people top up, you know, my electrolyte levels. You know? Got to keep the fizz in the biz, you know.” Incredibly, as his body continued to swell and get larger, Ho-mi started to rise and float away.
“Ho-mi! Where are you going? Come back!”
”Haha, you worry too much man. Relax and drink the water man. It’s carbonated, you know.”
