  • The sunfish goes by many names, including “ocean sunfish” and “mola mola”.

  • No one has ever actually seen a sunfish, but marine biologists assume it looks like in the picture, which is an artist’s rendering based on descriptions by old sailors, because if the sunfish didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it.
  • Sometimes the sunfish forgets how to walk and staggers all over the path, even if it’s sober. It is a slow walker and doesn’t like trying to keep up with others.
  • No matter how bad things get, the sunfish thinks, At least Richard Simmons isn’t trying to cheer me up.
  • When a sunfish’s relationship is on the ropes, it goes for a walk with its partner at sunset and a beaver swims up the creek and waddles up the bank and chews down three little trees and sits by the water chewing on them and the sunfish watches the beaver, and watches its partner watching the beaver with wonder, and the sunfish knows, at the very least, we can be good friends.
  • Sunfish often dream of flying.
