Ripples, Polly and Jason meet a little bird who has just completed a long journey to spend the winter on their beach. Inspired by him, they decide to build a raft and discover the seas. But their vessel sinks right away and our budding sailors end up at the bottom of the sea, where they decide to postpone their journey to the next day. They fall asleep on three soft pillows, which are actually the hats of three jellyfish. While our heroes are asleep, the jellyfish wake up and start to swim elsewhere; Ripples, unlike his companions, actually remains on one of the jellyfish and wakes up in a strange place far away from home. Polly and Jason set off to look for him helped by Icarus. Meanwhile our young shipwreck is swimming to try and find his way home, but at one point, exhausted, he decides to rest on a reef, which turns out to be the back of his whale friend Giusy. Ripples removes from the leviathan’s orifice a net that was preventing her from breathing. To thank him, Giusy offers to take him back home and just then they are found by Polly, Jason and Icarus, who can hug their friend once more.
