Toby loves going to the fair and is even more excited than usual when he wins a goldfish. He's never had a pet before and is thrilled with his fish, Moby. But Moby just swims round his bowl and Toby ends up imagining the fun he'd have with a dog fish and a clown fish. In the end Toby works out that Moby is homesick so he makes a tiny funfair to go into his bowl. Both Toby and Moby are now happy!
