How's it going, everyone? Ready for another story time? Let's get right into it!

Ahhh! The ocean….. Home to some amazing creatures.
海洋裡有很多很多豐富的生物.

Like tuna fish..... whales ... dolphins… and......trash cans? .........Huh? In the ocean?

Yep. 沒錯. 現在海裡有垃圾桶! There are now trash cans in the ocean!

But these aren't just any trash cans. These are very special trash cans.
這些垃圾桶很特別! They can swim and have really biiiig mouths!

But what do you call a swimming trash can with a big mouth that hunts garbage?

It's called WasteShark! Waste就是 汙染... and shark 就是鯊魚! …….Uh nope...
That's not right. …..Yeah, that's more like it!

WasteShark acts kind of like a garbage truck... but in the water! Collecting
the trash floating on top in harbors and rivers.
像垃圾車一樣WasteShark會幫忙撿水上的垃圾

Doesn't it make you sad to see trash on the ground or floating around in water?
看到地上或水上有垃圾, 不會難過嗎?

Well, the WasteShark's big mouth is perfect for catching trash and other
waste we don't want on the water's surface.
WasteShark的大嘴巴剛好可以塞很多垃圾. WasteShark can also tell the water's
temperature and check that it is safe and clean. WasteShark 還會測溫度跟汙染!

The idea for WasteShark comes from a…. whale shark! The biggest fish in the
world! WasteShark 的靈感來自於鯨鯊, 世界上最大的魚. Whale sharks and
Wastesharks both swim around with their huge mouths open
Ahhhhh! 一直開嘴巴吃東西.

But don't worry, WasteShark doesn't bite, okay? And it also won't hurt any
little fish or other wildlife. 不用擔心, WasteShark 不會吃小魚或動物.
WasteShark only eats trash!

Errrr... yummy?? 我...還是吃我的便當好了...
