In a forest, there was a pond. Many fishes, crabs and frogs lived in the pond. Among them lived two beautiful fishes. One was Sasha and the other was Shasta. They were bigger than the other fishes. They thought they were very smart. In the same pond lived a frog with his wife. His name was Eric. The animals were good friends. They lived a happy life.

One day, two fishermen were returning from the river in the forest. They came across the pond. It was late in the evening. All the fishes and frogs were playing happily. They jumped high into the air. The fishermen were in big surprise. They stopped and took a look. “How beautiful they are!” said one fisherman. “Yes. And so many of them too,” replied the other. “The pond does not look very deep,” said the first fisherman. “Let us catch some of them.” “It is already very late and we have a long way to go. Let’s come back tomorrow,” said the other fisherman.

Eric turned to the others in the pond and said, “Did you not hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond for a safer place.” “Just because two fishermen said they would come back to catch us tomorrow, you want us to leave our home? For all we know, they might not come back,” said Sasha. “Even if they come back to catch us, I know a thousand ways to get away.” “And even if your thousand ways don’t work, I know another hundred ways to escape,” said Shasta. “We’ll not let two fishermen scare us away from our home.” All the others in the pond agreed with them.

“Well! I know only one way,” said Eric. “To leave the place before danger comes.” Eric and his wife left the pond in search of a safer place. All the fishes, crabs and frogs laughed at them as they left.

The next day, the fishermen returned with a thick net (网).
