Clever Little Fish | Short Moral Story
The name of the story is “Clever Small Fish.” On a sunny day, a fisherman went to fish in a sparkling river. He threw his net into the water, hoping to catch lots of fish. He dreamed of selling them at the market for a nice sum of money. After waiting for a bit, he heard a sound from his net. He thought, “Oh, I must have caught a big bunch of fish!” He quickly pulled his net out of the water.
But, oh no! To his surprise, there was only one very small fish caught in it. As he picked up the tiny fish, something magical happened—the fish began to speak! “Oh, dear fisherman,” the tiny fish pleaded, “please let me go! I don’t want to die.”
The fisherman didn’t really listen to the fish’s plea at first. But then, the clever little fish had an idea. “Listen,” it said, “If you let me go back into the river, I’ll tell all my fish friends about you. I’ll bring them all to this riverbank next time you come. You’ll catch more fish than you can imagine!”
The fisherman thought to himself, “Hmm, that sounds like a great idea.” He imagined letting go of one small fish today and catching a whole lot more tomorrow. So, believing the fish’s promise, he gently released the tiny fish back into the river.
he little fish was overjoyed and swam away as fast as it could, feeling very happy to be free again. It never came back.
The next day, the hopeful fisherman returned, expecting to see many fish waiting for him, just as the little fish had promised.
BUT, THE LITTLE FISH WAS VERY SMART. IT HAD TRICKED THE FISHERMAN TO SAVE ITS OWN LIFE. This story shows us how clever thinking can sometimes save the day.
