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 Gobi, a young fish whose best friend just moved away and who thinks he doesn’t need any new friends.
When he finds part of a map in an old chest his mother had, he decides to embark on an adventure to find the treasure. Gobi collects clues and counts his way through the ocean and on his journey, meets many different characters, including Señor Shrimp, Madame Clam, and Mr. Sea Turtle. When he approaches a thick patch of seaweed, he meets Sharky, another young resident of the sea who also has trouble making friends. When they realize that Sharky has the other half of Gobi’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 Gobi, Sharky, and the student scuba divers. Together, they match the shapes of the objects to the holes in Ms. Crabby’s door and mend it.
Once the door is fixed, a big red X is revealed marking the treasure. Sharky and Gobi 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.
