Lillo tells Ripples, Polly and Jason that his little brothers are born. So, our three friends set off for the beach to find presents for the babies. After finding some toy windmills they go back underwater and meet Charlotte the oyster who would like to come along with them, but is too big and heavy to move and our three friends just can’t pull her. Downhearted, they set off again and meet a gang of jellyfish; Ripples thinks they may be able to carry Charlotte. This they do, with the help of the toy windmills used as propellers to pull her up. Back at Lillo’s den, everyone celebrates and Charlotte decides to start travelling the seas, with all her giant oyster friends, helped by the jellyfish . Their gift to Ripples and his companions is a giant pearl.
