THE THREE FISHES

       Once upon a time, three fishes lived in a pond. One evening, some fisherman passed by the pond and saw the fishes. "This pond is full of fish', they told each other excitedly. "We have never fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our  nets and catch these fish!". So, saying, the fisherman.

         When the eldest of the three fishes heard this, he was troubled. He called the other fishes together and said, "Did you hear what the fisherman said? We must leave this pond at once. The fisherman will return tomorrow and kill us all!'' The second of the three fishes agreed. "You are right," he said. "We must leave the pond!". But the youngest fish laughed. "You are worrying without reason." he said." We have lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these man return? I am not going anywhere-my luck will keep me safe."

     The eldest of the fishes left the pond that very evening with entire family. The second fish saw the fisherman coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with all his family. The fisherman arrive and caught all the fish left in the pond. The third fish's luck did not help him-he too was caught and killed
