This story revolves around a discarded jar. After being casually thrown away by someone, the jar drifted all the way through the sewers to the seabed and became a temporary “home” for the little fish. During the long journey of drifting, the jar gradually took on the role of protecting the little fish. However, a year later, it was fished up together with the little fish and sent to a garbage disposal plant. At the critical moment when it was about to be flattened, the little fish was flung by the jar into the sink and was discovered by a passing worker. The worker not only saved the little fish but also fished the jar out and took them both home to raise. From then on, the jar was no longer a drifting waste but became the little fish’s eternal home.
