Long Long ago, there lived three fishes in a pond. They were all friendly and lived happily in the pond. Each fish was different from the other's character.
The first was named Goldie, the second was named Whitie, and the third was named Brownie. Goldie was very intelligent and shrewd. Whitie was strong-minded and had a belief in destiny. Brownie was slow and lethargic. Once, Goldie heard two fishermen talking among themselves. The first one said, "This pond is full of fish. We have to come tomorrow and have a good catch." The second one replied, "Yes, my friend. Today, we have had enough fish. Definitely, we shall come tomorrow." Goldie swam fast to her friends and started in an anxious voice, "Dear friends, I heard two fishermen talking among themselves to catch fish in this side of the pond tomorrow. We have to leave this place and swim elsewhere to save our lives."
Whitie asked her, "Are you, sure friend? Will they really come to this side of the pond to catch fish?" "I am sure," replied Goldie. " Perhaps, you are right," said the whitie. Let us move immediately to some other pond, lake or river. Brownie was watching this conversation calmly. "This is my birthplace. I shall not leave from here," she told. Both Goldie and Whitie swam to the other side of the pond. The next day, the fishermen came and threw their net. A lot of fish were caught, including Brownie. They left the place with trays full of fish. Goldie and Whitie saw, with sad hearts, their friend being carried away. Had Brownie listened to their friends, she too would have escaped.
