Page 19 - Moral Stories Vol 5

Let us listen to a small story of fish who worked together to escape from a fisherman’s boat. In a big ocean, there are small fish that move in groups. One day a fisherman comes to catch the fish. He
throws a big net in the water.
The big group of fish is caught in the net. Some fish are left outside the net. They start to think on how to save their brethren. They tell the fish caught inside the net to start swimming down and down together. They also join and start pushing the net down.
DOWN DOWN LET’S SWIM DOWN.
DOWN DOWN LET’S SWIM DOWN.
The fish keep shouting so that all of them cooperate with each other and start to swim down together. Finally the net breaks and the fish get away from the fisherman. The fish become happy. But the fisherman becomes sad.
Think and Answer:
1. Would the fish be saved if they had not cooperated?
2. How did the fish cooperate with each other?
3. Did the fish that were not caught in the net, run away?
