ran away. The next morning she ran away from home when her Aunt and Uncle were having
breakfast. She ran away into the woods.

asleep

2. Three Fishes
(Orientation)
Once, three fishes lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw
the fishes. 'This pond is full of fish', they told each other excitedly. 'We have never fished here
before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!' Then the
fishermen left.
(Complication)
When the eldest of the three fishes heard this, he was troubled. He called the other fishes
together and said, 'Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once.
The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!' The second of the three fishes agreed. 'You
are right', he said. 'We must leave the pond.'
But the youngest fish laughed. 'You are worrying without reason', he said. 'We have lived in this
pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men return? I am
not going anywhere - my luck will keep me safe.'
(Resolution)
The eldest of the fishes left the pond that very evening with his entire family. The second fish
saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with all
his family. The third fish refused to leave even then.
The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left in the pond. The third fish's luck did not help
him - he too was caught and killed.
(Coda)
The fish who saw trouble ahead and acted before it arrived as well as the fish who acted as
soon as it came both survived. But the fish who relied only on luck and did nothing at all died.
So also in life.

Suatu ketika, terdapatlah tiga ikan yang hidup di sebuah kolam. Di suatu sore, beberapa
nelayan melewati kolam tersebut dan melihat ikan-ikan itu. "Kolam ini penuh dengan ikan",
merka berbicara satu sama lain dengan bergairah. "Kita belum pernah memancing di sini
sebelumnya. Kita harus datang lagi besok pagi dengan jaring kita dan manangkap ikan-ikan ini!"
Kemudian nelayan-nelayan tersebut pergi.
(Complication)
Ketika ikan yang paling tua mendengar ini, dia gelisah. Dia memanggil ikan-ikan yang lain dan
berkata, 'Apakah kamu dengar apa yang dikatakan nelayan itu? Kita harus meninggalkan kolam
ini. Nelayan itu akan kembali besok dan membunuh kita semua!' Ikan kedua setuju. 'Kamu
benar', dia berkata. 'Kita harus meninggalkan kolam ini.'
Tetapi ikan yang paling muda tertawa. 'Kamu cemas tanpa ada alasan', dia berkata. 'Kita telah
tinggal di kolam ini semur hidup kita, dan tidak ada nelayan yang datang kesini. Kenapa harus
orang-orang itu kembali? Saya tidak akan pergi kemana-mana - keberuntunganku akan
menyelamatkan ku.'
(Resolution)
Ikan tertua meninggalkan kolam tersebut pada sora hari dengan seluruh keluarganya. Ikan
kedua melihat nelayan datang di kejauhan pada pagi hari dan meninggalkan kolam tersebut
dengan seluruh keluarganya. Ikan ketiga tetap menolak untuk pergi.
Nelayan tersebut pun datang dan menangkap semua ikan yang tertinggal di kolam.
Keberuntungan ikan ketiga tidak menyelamatkannya - dia juga tertangkap dan dibunuh.
(Coda)
Ikan yang cemas dahulu dan bertindak sebelum nelayan datang dan ikan yang tertindak ketika
nelayan datang bershasil selamat. Tetapi ikan yang mempercayakan hanya pada keberuntungan
dan tidak berbuat apa-apa semuanya mati. Begitu juga pada kehidupan.
