Once upon a time, there was a big old woman who lived in a house. One day the big old woman went fishing. She caught a fish but the fish was not a normal fish. It was Fishman. Fishman pulled the hook out of his nose and said to the woman “Swim, swim as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the Fishman.”
The old woman jumped into the water and swam after him.
A Little way along the bank, a tiger was laying in the sun. He saw the old woman swimming after the Fishman. He was hungry. The tiger crept into the water and waited.
Fishman looked over his shoulder and called again, “Swim, swim as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the Fishman.” Fishman didn’t see the tiger waiting until it was too late and the tiger closed his mouth, swallowing Fishman in one bite.
The old woman, still swimming, saw the tiger right beside her and before she could swim away, the tiger had caught her and ate her too. The Tiger climbed out of the water and laid down in the sun happily ever after.
