This is some ugly duckling garbage. The Pout-Pout fish was only able to achieve a sense of happiness and purpose upon discovering that he wasn't the race he thought he was. Sure, it works out just fine when this moron realizes he's actually a Kiss-Kiss fish, but what about the other Pout-Pout fish in the ocean that are going to be Pout-Pout fish forever? And don't you dare tell me that it's impossible for a Pout-Pout fish to be happy just because this one wasn't. Remember, he wasn't actually a Pout-Pout fish. We have no idea whether or not this guy had ever interacted with a Pout-Pout fish before. My guess is he just made assumptions about them based on how they looked or what other people said about them. I sense a much better lesson in all this than the one the book presents. It's also important to point out that if people acted like Kiss-Kiss fish do, they'd go to jail. I get why our hero was so excited when he discovered he was a Kiss-Kiss fish. If I believed I could just go smooching whoever I wanted with impunity, it would probably take me five wonderful, shameful minutes before I realized that it still remained a bad thing to do to people. Anyway, I hope this guy ended up as part of a Filet-O-Fish. ( )
