Do You See What I See in the Sea?
Do You See What I See in the Sea? begins above water on land. Three people sitting on the beach decide to go scuba diving so they can see what is happening under the water. The audience is then invited to put on their own imaginary scuba gear and to join them under the sea. Once below the surface, we meet Goby, a young fish whose best friend just moved away and who thinks she doesn’t need any new friends.
When she finds part of a map in an old chest her mother had, she decides to embark on an adventure to find the treasure. Goby collects clues and counts her way through the ocean and on her journey, meets many different characters, including Señor Shrimp, Madame Clam, and Mr. Sea Turtle. When she approaches a thick patch of seaweed, she meets Sharky, another young resident of the sea who also has trouble making friends. When they realize that Sharky has the other half of Goby’s map, the two head off together to find the treasure.
The map leads them directly to Mr. Crabby, a grumpy old crab who is desperately trying to fix the holes in his door with items he has collected. When he continues to be unsuccessful, he reluctantly accepts help from Goby, Sharky, and the student scuba divers. Together, they match the shapes of the objects to the holes in Mr. Crabby’s door and mend it.
Once the door is fixed, a big red X is revealed marking the treasure. Sharky and Goby scramble around searching for the treasure, but Mr. Crabby has already found the real treasure: friendship. All three learn their lives will be much richer if they have others to share it with.
