The Fish

There were three fish one was a wise fish, one was a little clever fish and one was a foolish fish. There was a big fat man, who loved fishing. They all lived in a small city in Hobart.

One day the fisherman was walking slowly home after a big long day of fishing at the river. As he was walking home, he passed a pond with three edible fish. The fishermen went to get his net. The fisherman lived about 100 metres away from the pond, so he didn’t have far to go.

The wise fish realised that the fisherman was going to scoop them up. So he thought of a plan to escape and decided to go through a small channel to the river. When the fisherman saw the fish go through the hole he found a rock and blocked the channel. While he was doing that the little clever fish pretended to be dead. The fisherman did not want to eat a dead fish so he scooped up the foolish fish, took him home, cooked him up and ate him for dinner.

This story teaches us, if you have a problem take time to make a plan to solve it. In this story the wise fish had a plan and escaped but the foolish fish had no plan and was eaten.
