7. 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
fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once.
The fishermen 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 men return? I
am not going anywhere - my luck will keep me
safe.’
Three Fishes
Once, three fishes lived in a pond. One evening, some
fishermen 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!' Then the fishermen left.

8. The fish who saw trouble ahead and
acted before it arrived as well as the
fish who acted as soon as it came
both survived. But the fish who
relied only on luck and did nothing
at all died. So also in life.
The eldest of the fishes left the pond that very
evening with his entire family. The second fish
saw the fishermen coming in the distance
early next morning and left the pond at once
with all his family. The third fish refused to
leave even then.
The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish
left in the pond. The third fish's luck did not
help him - he too was caught and killed.
