## Plot

When Pear is welcoming the audience, Orange throws a bucket of water at Pear. Orange said this week they were reading the Little Mermaid. Pear decides to read the book, however Orange suggested to watch the movie instead. Pear wants to stick with his version, Orange said he’ll listen as long as a singing crab was present in the book, Pear informs him that there is no singing crab in the book which Orange is discountenanced. When they begin reading the book Orange narrates about the singing crab having an attractive singing voice to where the Sea Witch was envious about. Pear informs Orange that it was actually the mermaid that had a beautiful singing voice. Orange disagrees by saying that the song “Under the Sea” which was sung by the crab was more captivating than a Singing mermaid. Pear asks Orange if he knows the main character was a mermaid and not the crab. Orange says he’ll get to the mermaid later and continues telling his story. The crab spotted a human walking on the surface with legs, which the crab wishes to obtain. Pear tells Orange that crabs do have legs, which was the reason why the story is supposed to be based around a mermaid. Orange ignores Pears sayings and continues telling his form of the story. The Sea Witch and the crab made a trade for his singing voice while the crab generated additional legs. Pear is disconsolate and wants to just get back to the mermaid as well as the original story, Orange gives him confidence at first. The mermaid also made a trade with the Sea Witch.
