- Wait. Hang on.
[grunting]
- Uh, Dunk, are you sure youwant to bring that rock?
It looks kind of, um, heavy.
- Yeah.It doesn't make any sense.
Carrying a rock isn'tgoing to bring you luck.
It's gonna weigh you down.
- Clearly, neither of youunderstand luck.
It doesn't have to make sense.
I'll be fine.
- All right. Suit yourself.
First one that gets backto the arch wins!
- Yeah!- Let's do this!
- Yeah. Okay. Here we go.- Okay.
- Ready?- Uh-huh.

now would be a good timeto use it.
Any second now.
Any time would be great.

Great job, Dunk!
Great--uh, where's Dunk?

- Oh! There he is! Over there!He's sinking!
Drop the rock, Dunk!
- I can't. This rock is lucky!Oof!
- Oh, boy.Okay, we're coming, buddy.
- Aww.- Ah, hmm.
- Oh, is that you, Dunk?
- Yep. I don't understandwhat happened.
I had my lucky rockand everything,
but it didn't help.
- Oh, don't worry, Dunk.
Maybe today just isn'tyour lucky day.
- You know what, Ripple?I think you're right.
Today isn't my lucky day...
which can only mean one thing.
- Uh, tomorrow will be better?
- It means my rock isno longer lucky.
Ha. Now that I've gotten ridof that,
my luck should begetting better any--oh!
Second.
[sighs]
[gasps] It's back!
It's following me!
- Dunk, all you did was throw itabove your head,
and it came back down.
- It must be more powerfulthan I thought.
But I'll get rid of it yet.
- Wha--- Uh-oh.
- Uh...- Dunk?
- Yeesh.
[Dunk straining]
- Okay.Maybe I couldn't throw it
high enough to keep itaway from me,
but let's see it come backfrom all the way up here.
Ha-ha! Yeah!
- Uh, are you sure about that,Dunk?
- Yeah. It's great.It's a great idea.
[Dunk laughing]- Dunk, I'm glad
you're happy now,but I think you should know
that that rock was just a rock.
- Right. So you're sayingthe rock wasn't lucky?
- That's right.You got it, Dunk.
- Agreed.The rock used to be lucky,
and now it's not,
which is why I got rid of it.

where it will never return.
- Uh, where's that?
- Well, putting it highdidn't work,
so I'm gonna have to put itdown low.
- Wha--are you gonnathrow the rock into the deep?
- Not deep enough.
I'm gonna throw this rockinto...
the Mountain of Fire!
- Wait, wait. You're gonnathrow it into a volcano?
Will that even work?
- Oh, it'll definitely work.
The magma inside a volcano canreach temperatures
up to , degrees!
More than hot enoughto melt rocks.
- Yeah. In fact, magma itself ismade out of melted rock
from way underneaththe ocean floor.
- I guess. But, Dunk,
just so I have this straight:
you're having the unluckiest dayof your life,
and your plan is to travel tothe edge of an active volcano?
- Yep. What could go wrong?

- The reef is made of over ,kinds of coral!
- Yeah,that's great information,
but everyone herealready knows that.
- Well, it's always good to bereminded of the facts, eh?
- Yeah. I think Maury was hoping
for something everybody doesn'talready know.
- Like, for example,I don't know
who your new friend isover there.
- What new friend?- Yeah. What do you mean?
- I mean where have you beenhiding this purple frogfish?
Hello. Name's Maury.Welcome to Reeftown.
- Maury, that's just some coral,not another frogfish.
- Are you sure? Frogfish arevery good at camouflage.
- Uh, yah.
Look.
- Good observation, Dunk.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Moray eels don't see so wellduring the day.
- Yeah. We're better at night.
- Yes. They're nocturnal.
They don't havethe best daytime vision
because they are more activeand use their eyes more
in the dark at night.
- Really?- Yeah, it's true.
I don't see so well.- I didn't know that.
- I don't really talk about it.Anyway,
I've got to go keep lookingfor news.
I need something to tell Dennyand all of Reeftown.
- Why don't you go ask Ripple?
With all those brothers,there's got to be
lots of news in her home.

- Thanks, Papa!
I'll make sure to tell Maurythe news!
- Ooh! Oh, boy, oh, boy,oh, boy, oh, boy!
What's the news?I need something big?
- Well, seahorses preferto swim upright
and are too bony and hardfor most predators to digest.
- Uh, okay,that's an interesting fact.
- Also, their snouts let them
poke into nooks and cranniesfor food.
Oh, speaking of that,you want to go find a snack?

there's a snack around heresomewhere.

Hmm, let's see.
Can't really think of any--

Pthewy!
- Uh, did you just spit outa small, white rock?
- Uh, well, actually, Maury--- Because if Zee the shark is
eating rocks, that is news,I tell you.
Now, this is somethingI can report.
- It's just a tooth.- Yeah.
- A tooth? A tooth?It fell right out of your head?
That's even bigger news!

Losing teeth is very normalfor a shark.
It happens every day.

- Oh, hi! It's me, Maury.Hey.
Have you heard aboutsnowflake moray eels?
Well, let me give you the scoop.
We snowflake moray eels like to hide in caves and crevices,
but when we're curious about something,
we'll pop our heads out of our caves and check it out.
Even though we can see okay at night,
we can't see very well during the day,
so we rely more on smelling and hearing
to find food and get around in the coral reefs where we live.
[gasps] I gotta go spreadthe word.
Bye!
- Hey, everybody.Dunk here.
I'm sure you've seen mepuff up before,
but have you ever wondered,
"Why do puffer fish do that?"
Well, puffer fish can be very brave fish,
so if there is a bigger, scarier fish
swimming around us, we just puff up and scare him away.
When we're not puffing up, we dog-face puffer fish
like to do lots of other fun stuff too,
like exploring all around our homes,
and finding yummy stuff to eat like sponges,
mollusks, or even algae.
Mmm, nom-yum-yum-yum!Save some for me!
- Hiya! Bubbles here,
and I want to talk to you about
one of my favorite places: the deep.
The deep is so far down
that it gets almost no sunlight at all,
so you might think that no one lives down there,
but you'd be wrong.
The deep is home to many amazing creatures
who have adapted to living in dark places
by having things like a great sense of hearing
and smell to find their food,
or huge eyes so they can see in the dark.
You may not be able to see it, but you gotta love the deep!
