oceanographers gave him a new, clear, more spacious bottle. he dragged it around for a bit…tried out the inside…and ditched it in favor of his trusty old brown bottle, which he carried off into the sunset.

(wow i hope this doesn’t sound weirdly enthusiastic - i recently became an aunt so i’ve got little ones on the brain…)
