The goldfish is sad and crying because its dad died due to dirty water and plastic pollution. The goldfish is also hungry, sick, and living in an insecure home. There is pollution from tankers and drilling rigs, and the goldfish dreams of clean oceans with blue and green seaweed. The goldfish asks for help to stop pollution on the beaches and keep the Black Sea clean, as it is their home. Little goldfish, tell me why you have tears in your eyes. Are you hungry? Are you sick? What's the matter? Tell me quick. I'm alone and I'm so sad. Dirty water killed my dad. Look at all that nasty plastic. It blocks the sun. It's so disgusting. We are hungry, sick and poor. Our home is insecure. Petrol leaks from tankers big, coming from the drilling rigs. How I dream of oceans clean, full of seaweed blue and green. Stop pollution on the beaches! It is bad and it can reach us. Help the Black Sea. Keep it clean! It's my home. It's where I swim.
