Three Fish - The half intelligent fish

The half-intelligent fish thought: "My guide is gone. I should have gone with him.But I didn't and now I've lost my chance to escape. I wish that I had gone with him."So the half-intelligent fish mourned the abscence of his guide for a while and then thoughtto himself: "What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps if I pretendto be dead. I'll belly up on the surface and float like a weed floats just giving myselftotally to the water to die before I die." So he did that. And so he bobbed up and down -hopeless - within the arms reach of a fisherman. "Look at this! The biggest fish of all isdead!" one of the men lifted him up by the tail, spat on him and threw him on the ground.He rolled over and over and slid secretly near the water and then back in.
