狮子鱼兵团。深蓝色的大海里，有一位勇猛善战的狮子鱼爸爸，它身上遍插美丽的威武旗，威武旗上还配备了有毒的梭镖谁要打算碰它的孩子，喀嚓，狮子鱼爸爸就毫不客气，给它一下子。狮子鱼妈妈过世得早，抚养宝宝的重担就落在了狮子鱼爸爸肩上。抚养宝宝可不是一件容易的事，大海是多么险恶呀，到处都是垂涎欲滴的猎手，它们好多都对狮子鱼宝宝虎视眈眈！当狮子鱼宝宝还在孵化期的时候，海燕的进攻就开始了。在海燕眼里，那可是美味的鱼子酱呀！狮子鱼宝宝在礁石缝中沉睡，大群海燕在上空盘旋，它们口水直流：好鲜美的鱼子酱，可不能错过哟！哎哟，什么东西射中我的脸啦？我要毁容啦！一只海燕哭喊起来。狮子鱼爸爸真英勇，一鱼大战十几只海燕。它在海水里翻滚，威武旗全面展开，横冲直撞，不要命似的。娇滴滴的海燕们哪里见过这阵势？没多久，它们就灰溜溜地飞走了，还吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸地说：这些鱼子酱已经不新鲜了，我们不要吃！大海上可不止海燕一伙馋虫，它们走了没多久，海鹦鹉又飞来了。它们的嘴特别大，摆明了要吃四方的样子。多好的点心！我们就在这礁石上享用下午茶吧，海风也很有情调喔！海鹦鹉张开大嘴刚要吃，狮子鱼爸爸马上在海里发飙了。一个凶猛无敌的勇士，玩起命来真够狠的。只见礁石下浪花飞溅，狮子鱼爸爸跳起来猛冲猛咬，威武旗扇动得像个风车。海鹦鹉抵挡了一会儿，悻悻地退去了。它们临走前丢下一句话：这个大老爷们简直像个泼妇嘛！狮子鱼爸爸这次也吃了点亏，它的威武旗破了两面，游泳的时候就有点歪了。不过它不介意，只要孩子们平安，威武旗破了算什么呢？狮子鱼宝宝就要孵化出来了，可危险还没有过去。瞧，几只海鸥飞来了，它们可是大海里有名的强盗！海鸥一遍一遍地俯冲，想要把狮子鱼宝宝吃到嘴里。狮子鱼爸爸当然不答应！只见它把身体当成炮弹，向海鸥们撞去，威武旗发射出一枚又一枚梭镖，哗！哗！海水因为激烈的厮杀而震荡起来，水花一阵一阵溅到礁石上。这一次，狮子鱼爸爸身负重伤威武旗和尾巴都破了，肚子也破了。它在海水中试着游泳，可不管如何努力，游泳的姿势都有点歪了。让狮子鱼爸爸感到欣慰的是，狮子鱼宝宝们平安孵出来了。它们围着狮子鱼爸爸叫：爸爸！爸爸狮子鱼爸爸乐得合不拢嘴，它说：孩子们，你们总算孵出来了。走，老爸带你们闯世界去！狮子鱼爸爸的任务还是很艰巨，它既要当爹，又要当妈，要很长时间才能把孩子们拉扯大。从当爹的职责来说，它要保护好这些小不点儿；从当妈的职责来说，它要给孩子们讲故事。讲什么呢？就讲狮子鱼爸爸大战侵略兵团吧！于是，狮子鱼爸爸就讲起故事来，狮子鱼宝宝听着故事游过珊瑚礁，穿过海藻森林。多么精彩的故事，宝宝们听得都入迷了：狮子鱼爸爸大战娇气的海燕兵团，狮子鱼爸爸大战呆头呆脑的海鹦鹉兵团，狮子鱼爸爸大战霸道的海鸥兵团还有战败那些海水里的散兵游勇，小乌贼啊，小海龟啊狮子鱼宝宝们听着爸爸的故事长大了。因为一直沉浸在勇猛拼杀的氛围里，狮子鱼宝宝们都长成了善战的勇士它们士气高昂，精神极足，威武旗高高飘扬。谁见了都情不自禁地给它们让路，不管是八只脚的章鱼，还是海底列车似的电鳗。狮子鱼爸爸不是负过伤吗？所以它在大海里游动的时候，身子始终有一点儿歪。狮子鱼宝宝们觉得这有一点儿歪特别帅，它们都有意识地模仿爸爸的泳姿来。歪一歪，向前游！歪一歪，不后退！团结同心，谁能抵挡！狮子鱼兵团喊着口号，在深蓝色的海底游弋。一天，一条小狮子鱼说：快看快看，那边有一群海鲇游泳也是歪歪的！另一条小狮子鱼撇着嘴说：有什么大惊小怪的？刚才我看到三只虎鲨游泳时也歪着呢！
