Goldfish and bubblefish are a pair of good friends, and they give each other gifts every New Year.
Of course, this year was no exception. This time, the Gollfish gave the Gollfish a beautiful shell watch, and the Gollfish gave the Gollfish a jellyfish-shaped hat.
The bubblefish liked the shell watch from the gollfish, and she happily wore it in her hand.
The goldfish didn't really like the jellyfish hat that the bubblefish gave him, and he thought he looked a little silly wearing it, so he hid the jellyfish hat in a drawer at home, and then lied to the bubblefish: "I accidentally lost my hat."
"Don't be sad, I'll buy another one for you." Bubble Fish comforted.
The gollfish wanted to persuade the bubblefish not to buy it, but the bubblefish couldn't help but pull the gollfish and leave.
They walked into a hat shop. Hey, there are so many different kinds of hats for sale! Besides jellyfish hats, there are also conch hats, shān hús, octopus hats, starfish hats, fishtail hats...
"This time you can choose yourself. Whichever one you like, I will buy one for you." The bubble fish said to the goldfish.
"But I... I..." Gollfish blushed and didn't know what to say.
"Oh, stop dawdling, just pick it up!" Bubble Fish urged. Gollfish liked the conch hat, so Bubble Fish bought it.
When he left the hat shop, Gollfish felt very upset. He finally summoned up the courage to say to Bubble Fish, "I'm sorry, Bubble Fish! Actually, the jellyfish hat wasn't lost. I just didn't like it very much, so I hid it."
Unexpectedly, Bubble Fish was not surprised by Gollfish's words at all: "I knew you didn't like that hat!"
"Oh, how did you know?" Gollfish couldn't help but be stunned.
"If you liked that jellyfish hat, you wouldn't have lost it!" said the Bubble Fish. "So I guess you didn't like it and lost it or hid it on purpose."
"Then why did you take me to buy this new hat?" Gollfish asked sheepishly.
"Since you don't like jellyfish hats, of course I'll buy another one you like."
"What about that jellyfish hat?"
"It's okay, I can wear it myself."
They went to the gollfish's house, and the gollfish opened the drawer and found that the jellyfish hat was missing. The goldfish asked his mother what was going on, and his mother told him that the naughty neighbor Taotao Fish came to their house to play just now. He found the jellyfish hat in the drawer and liked it, so he put it on. The goldfish was a little angry and wanted to go to Taotao Fish to get the hat back, but was stopped by the bubble fish.
"No need, give it to him." Bubble Fish said, "Taotao Fish is the real owner of the jellyfish hat.
