Rows and rows of boats lined the harbor.

Marlin and Dory swam from stern to stern, trying to find one that looked familiar.

Dory yawned, exhausted². Her eyes fluttered, then closed. She began to sink, falling asleep.

"Dory! Wake up!" Marlin shouted.

Dory opened her eyes. Then she screamed.

A big pelican³ was swooping⁴ toward them. In a flash, he opened his beak⁵ and scooped⁶ up the two friends.

At the pier⁷, the pelican settled on a dock. He threw back his head to swallow Marlin and Dory.

"No! I didn't come this far to be breakfast!" Marlin wedged himself sideways in the pelican's mouth.

The pelican made a choking noise. The fish were stuck in his throat.

Farther down the dock, Nigel watched the choking pelican. He flew over to help.

"Fish got your tongue?" he asked.

The pelican opened his mouth. Nigel peered in, then pounded the pelican on the back.

The two fish flew onto the dock.

"I've got to find my son, Nemo!" Marlin cried, gasping⁸ for air.

Nigel's eyes opened wide. "He's that fish!" Nigel yelled. "The one that's been fighting the whole ocean!"

Marlin and Dory were flopping⁹ down the dock, trying to get back to the water.

"I know where your son is!" Nigel cried. A flock of curious seagulls suddenly appeared.

The pelican opened his beak. "Hop¹⁰ inside my mouth if you want to live," he said.

"How does that make me live?" Marlin asked, thinking Nigel wanted to eat him.

Nigel shook his head. "No! I know your son. He's orange. He's got a gimpy fin¹ on one side."

Marlin couldn't believe it! This pelican really knew his son. "That's Nemo!" he shouted.

More seagulls swooped¹¹ down on the dock, surrounding Marlin and Dory.

Nigel dove into the midst of the birds. He snatched the fish from the dock and flew off. Nigel grabbed a mouthful of water from the ocean so that Marlin and Dory could breathe. They were on their way to the dentist's office.

 

海港里停泊着一排又一排的船只。

马林和多莉游过来游过去，想要找到曾经见过的那艘船。

多莉筋疲力尽地打着哈欠。她的眼睛眨巴眨巴，然后闭上了。她开始往下沉，渐渐睡着了。

“多莉！醒醒!”马林大喊。

多莉睁开了眼睛。接着她尖叫起来。

一只大鹈鹕正朝着他们俯冲过来。一瞬间，他张开嘴，衔起这两个朋友。

鹈鹕停在一个码头上。他把头往后一甩，要把马林和多莉吞下去。

“不！我千里迢迢前来，不是为了给人当早餐的!”马林让自己卡在鹈鹕的嘴巴的一侧。

鹈鹕发出噎住的声音。两条鱼卡在了他的喉咙里。

在码头上比较远的地方，大嘴哥注视着噎住的鹈鹕。他飞过去帮忙。

“让鱼噎着了?”他问。

鹈鹕张开嘴巴。大嘴哥仔细向里面看了看，然后拍打了他的背。

两条鱼赶紧跳到了码头上。

“我得去找到我儿子尼莫!”马林大叫，大口喘着气。

大嘴哥瞪大了眼睛。“他就是那条鱼!”大嘴哥大喊，“打遍整片大海的那条鱼!”

马林和多莉沿着码头跳过去，想要回到水里。

“我知道你儿子在哪儿!”大嘴哥大叫道。一群好奇的海鸥突然出现了。

鹈鹕张开嘴巴。“想活命就跳进我嘴里。”他说。

“那我还怎么活命?”马林问，以为大嘴哥想吃了他。

大嘴哥摇了摇头。“不！我认识你儿子。他是条橙色的鱼。一边的鳍有残缺。”

马林觉得难以置信！这只鹈鹕真的认识他儿子。“就是尼莫!”他大叫。

更多的海鸥向码头上俯冲，围住了马林和多莉。

大嘴哥俯冲到这群鸟当中。他将他们从码头上抓起，飞走了。大嘴哥匆匆地从海里取了一口水，让马林和多莉能够呼吸。他们朝牙医办公室赶去。
