    The Tale of Two Fishes

    and a Frog
    Two large fishes, Sahasrabuddhi
    and Satabuddhi lived in a big pond,
    and were close friends with a frog
    called Ekabuddhi. They spent a lot
    of time together on the bank of the
    pond.

    One evening, as they were


    assembled on the bank of the pond,
    they saw a few fishermen
    approaching. They had nets and big
    baskets with them, which were full
    of fishes that they had caught.

    While passing by the pond, they


    noticed that the pond was full of
    fishes. One of them said to the
    others, "Let us come here tomorrow
    morning. This pond is not very
    deep, and is full of fishes. We have
    never caught fishes in this pond."

    They agreed to return the very next


    morning, and continued their
    journey homewards.

    The frog was depressed on hearing


    the fishermen and said, "O Friends,
    we should decide what to do,
    whether to run or hide. These
    fishermen will return tomorrow
    morning!"
    The fishes however did not care
    much. The first fish said, "O Friend,
    It is just mere talks of few passing
    fishermen. Don't worry, for they will
    not come. And, even if they do, I
    know innumerable tricky water
    movements. I shall save myself and
    my family with ease."

    The second fish joined, "I am as


    talented in tricky water movements
    as you! I will be able to save myself
    and my family too. I support your
    stand, for I will not abandon the
    home of our ancestors for the sake
    of some mere talk of few passing
    fishermen."
    But the frog was not convinced, he
    said, "My friends, my only talent is
    that I can foresee danger. You may
    stay, but I will leave with my family
    to some other pond before
    morning."

    The very next morning, the


    fishermen came and cast their nets
    all over the pond. They had a big
    haul, and caught many fishes,
    frogs, tortoises and crabs.

    Sahasrabuddhi and Satabuddhi


    tried hard to escape, but none of
    their tricks worked. They were
    caught, and when the fishermen
    dragged their net on the bank of the
    pond they were already dead.
    Being the largest of the fishes the
    fishermen caught, they proudly
    displayed Sahasrabuddhi and
    Satabuddhi, and carried them
    separately as they started
    homewards.

    Meanwhile, the frog, Ekabuddhi,


    had already found a well for shelter.
    Being worried and anxious, he came
    to the surface. But as he saw the
    fishermen departing with his
    friends, he became sad.

    He told his wife, "They were very


    talented, but lacked the only talent
    that was most important. As for me,
    I may have only one talent, but I
    swim happily with my family!"

    The wise indeed say:


    At the first hint of danger, act
    quickly to save yourself.
