Dream or truth?

The monkey Ivo, the zebras Zig and Zag and the dinosaur Dino are sitting on the dock at dusk, watching the sunset.
– I love the way the sun turns golden, orange and then red when it goes down! - says Zig.
– It reminds me of that giant goldfish we saw when I was on the raft last spring – Zag sighs – remember, Zig?
– Wait a minute… Did you see a huge goldfish? – asks Ivo, excited – I almost caught him!

– Hey, I saw a big goldfish once, right under this dock! – Dino remembers, pointing to the water under them.
They look at each other, then look at the water.
– Do you think it's a single fish? – Ivo asks thoughtfully.
They are silent, looking at the water. Suddenly, far from the beach, a huge goldfish leaps up and hits the water, splashing it like a dolphin.
- Wow! Did you see that?! – yells Ivo.
– It was our fish! exclaims Zig.
- Oh my! It was him! – echoes Zag.
– It's like the fish heard us talking about him or her and wanted to say hi or something! – exclaims Dino.
They see a figure approaching, just below the water's surface. She swirls the water under their feet. Then, the goldfish jumps out of the water right next to them!
Chuaaaa! The wave water wet them all totally.
The fish slowly swims away.
– This looks like a dream! – exclaims Ivo – This fish is listening to us and answering us!
– It's not a dream, Ivo – Dino laughs – we're wide awake and soaking wet now!
