A boy named Ned buys a small fish named Otto from Mr. Carp's pet shop. Mr. Carp gives Ned a strict warning not to feed Otto too much. Ned doesn't listen and feeds Otto a lot, causing the fish to grow bigger and bigger. Otto outgrows his bowl, the bathtub, and even the house! Ned tries to find help, but Otto is too enormous. Finally, Ned calls Mr. Carp, who tells him how to make Otto shrink back to his normal size. Ned learns a valuable lesson about following rules.
