The monster attacks Lampje but she is not afraid and fends off. From now on she has to take care of the fish boy, who is locked in the tower room. It is not easy what she does, and Vis thinks she is just a stupid child. Lampje is fed up with him calling her names and walks away, but she is soon sent back. The fish boy misses his father the Admiral, who is on a journey and is ashamed of his deformed son. In desperation, Pisces tries to act like an ordinary boy. Lampje wants Vis to do something for her: teach her to read. In return, Lampje takes Vis outside for the first time in his life. The two children become friends.
