He's excited! It's about time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut he starts to get nervous. \"I hope I don't step on a fish,\" he worries. \"What if all the other people in the class are better than I am?\" he wonders as he opens the fridge to make his \"perfect sandwich,\" a double-decker creation complete with peanut butter, tuna, and pickles. By the time he goes to bed, Mr. Sillypants is not sure swimming lessons are such a good idea after all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Mr. Sillypants falls asleep, he dreams that he's wandering through a desert, then down a long road, when suddenly he plummets into a big pond. \"I can't swim!\" he yells. Soon, though, his worries about swimming are far from his mind: He morphs into a fish, flees from enormous pickle monsters, and eventually turns into a shark, giving him the strength he needs to fight back. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe next morning, Mr. Sillypants wakes with a smile.
