There used to be a small yet beautiful village with humans and animals both were thriving and living happily together. The people doesn't used to bother wild animals and vice-versa. The village had a massive yet clean fresh water pond at the outskirts where everyday kids and adults used to hang out and spend good time together. The main economic resource of that village is the fresh fish they sell in other towns earning a lot of money. Many vendors from several towns around visit this village every alternative day to buy a lot of fish as the lake held good quality fishes. The fishes multiplied in so many numbers very easily because of the fresh water, good quality fish food the people used to throw them. The fishermen spent good amount of time every alternative day for fishing.

On one such fishing ocassion, one of the fisherman told to his friend "we had such beautiful days fishing and earning from this pond. But did you hear the announcement from the King yesterday? A massive drought is coming our way. Which means for the next season, all the water is going to dry out and all the fishes are gonna die. We need to search for alternative earnings until this drought situation is over..." and they picked some fish and left... Listening to the conversation, one of the fishes named "X" reached it's other two friends and yelled, "did you guys hear what the other fishermen were talking? we are all gonna die.. we need to find a way towards the ocean real soon. We need to start right now.."

These three fishes were friends from childhood and they always stuck towards each other and were very close. Because of X's smartness and plans, none of them were ever captured by fishermen.. but this time, the rest of the two fishes Y and Z yawned and replied "hey X, chill... look around you.. look much water is there. I don't see any drought hitting our village anytime soon...Do you seriously believe the humans? do not be silly...". However, X did not want to stay anytime in that lake wasting it's time and abide a good bye to it's friends and took a long trip to find an ocean. Days went by and finally X reached a massive ocean and took homage in it and was so happy but also worried about it's friends Y and Z.

Weeks went by like this and just as the King predicted, drought slowly started to affect the people and animals of the village and the water quantity started to reduce in the pond as bits and pieces of lake land started to appear around the lake. Y observed the situation and slowly approached Z and said, "Look, we were so stupid and we should have gone along with X when he asked us to go with him. By now, we would have reached the ocean and lived happily there.. but it's not late now.. Let's go, let's leave this lake before it's too late.."

Z laughed aloud and said "are you kidding me?? we have massive fishes swimming around us even right now. We have a lot of water.. let us just stay back and enjoy. I'm not leaving.." Z refused to even listen to Y and Y had no choice but to say goodbye to Z and it left the lake. With lot of struggles and water scarcity during it's journey towards the ocean, Y faced so much issues and even death while a bird tried to catch it because of how low the water was flowing but thankfully, it escaped.. It finally reached the ocean but was almost dead.. After few hours, it met with X and they both hugged each other. Y apologized for not listening to X in first place.

After several weeks, one fine morning, The third fish Z woke up as and noticed that the lake was almost dried up and there are so many dead fishes lying around it at a distance. Z screamed as it realized what had happened and it immediately took a path to reach the ocean. However, because of the natural disaster, several lakes in the path were completely dry and there was no water to even swim. But with a lot of struggles, the fish still tried to reach the ocean. There was one massive dried up lake with water just flowing in a single line to cross to reach the ocean while the fish was carefully and slowly crossing while a massive eagle picked Z up and took it to it's nest to eat... Z screamed up in the air looking down at the ocean while the Eagle was crossing it carrying Z it in between it's tight claws...

Moral of the story:

Life doesn't give us chances to escape our problems again and again... once we get a chance, we need to be always alert and active to identify the opportunity and take it. Lazy and careless people will never win in life. We need to develop a skill to foresee the future based on our current decision....Just like the first fish, who used the chance to escape as and when it came to know about the problem, we need to be smart and use our consciousness in this world to cleverly distinguish between good and bad decision because God gave us that power to do so... The second fish also overcame the issue but because it acted late and when the problem actually came and not before, it had to struggle a lot in life... and the third one, reacted when it is too late to even do anything.

So always be active, gather correct knowledge, stay alert when doing anything, predict risks and that way, you can dodge or foresee the issues beforehand or at least will be able to face risks before it is too late :)))

Thanks for reading you guys :)) Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas :)

Thanks spons, always love to flex you all

The message is clearly understood. We have to be wise and be open to changes and be willing to be changed. Life doesn't always give us what we wanted but it gives us opportunities to get what we want.

One of the best articles I have read this year, and surprisingly I have read lots of great articles like this in the past also written by you. Z is present in every aspect of life, it's those people that believe things can never go wrong and will always criticize the smart ones when they bring up a brilliant idea. Those sort of people usually end up regretting their decisions at the end

Definitely they will, because people who have the job only to criticize will never lead up to anywhere in their lives. Thanks dear

This is life for us. Just like they say "a problem known is half solved" because knowing it would make it easy enough to trace the possible solutions. The first Fish new the problem and quickly did a scout to locate a new location as safe ground

This is a wonderful story with wonderful lessons to learn. Oftentimes we are too comfortable with what we have at the present and never prepare for the future. And sometimes, even with the presence of the warning signs, we still decide to follow the wrong crowd

Yes doll I agree. In life we should always be alert, always be active. If you have given a chance already take it and don't waste it. Do your best and efforts that those chances will be treasure.

We shouldn't be lazy. Always set our mindset to function well with postivities and motivation because it will help you. Don't let yourself distracted from other things. Just be focus and always active all the time.

This is a great fable, I can see that people will just believe in you once they already in situation. They will slowly realized the things they need to do whenctis already late, fish X is totally smart, it used the opportunity to escape when he heard a rumor.

I like this story of yours. We should be smart enough to predict what will happen later on, and try to listen and consider other's advice rather than always focusing on our own. Just like the story in the Bible about Noah's ark, others don't believe him at first and even mock him while making the ark, but when the flood came, they all regret what they've done to him.
