0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 That it's some sort of fish - fishes have scales, which can weigh objects, but also are very light. Also they live in the sea (traditionally dead sailors were sewn into their hammocks and thrown overboard. However, the 'namesake promise' eludes me; something to do with preventing sea levels rising? Maybe an icefish?? - as far as I am aware, as long as the land ice stays solid then sea levels won't rise much.... Am I on the right track?

0 Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've just been reminded of that book - where the rainbow fish gives away his shiny scales. Haven't read it since I was little; ah, the memories lol *Hijack over* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
