The Tale of the Fishs Tail
Once upon a time, there was a small fish who lived in the depths of the ocean. He was an adventurous soul and often explored the unknown territory of the sea, looking for exciting things to discover. One day he stumbled across an old, forgotten ruin of a temple, deep beneath the sea. Excited to find something so mysterious, he ventured inside the crumbling structure, swimming through the various corridors and chambers of the temple, until he finally came to a large stone door. He couldnt believe his luck. He pushed his way through the door and what he saw on the other side was something so beautiful that he was lost for words.
In front of him was a giant, shimmering waterfall that cascaded down the side of a mountain. The beauty of the scene away caught his breath and he stood at the entrance in awe, until he noticed something even more beautiful than the waterfall. At the base of the waterfall, there was the most exquisite of creatures – a small, silver fish with an incredibly long tail, even longer than his own.
The small fish was mesmerised by the sight of the larger silver fish, and wanted to get closer to it, so he swam forward and ventured closer. As he inched nearer and nearer, the larger fish slowly turned to face him and its tail slowly began to wrap around his own, as if in a welcoming embrace. The smaller fish was entranced; he knew instinctively that the larger silver fish wanted to share something special with him.
He closed his eyes and suddenly he could feel himself being lifted out of the water and up into the sky, carried away by the beautiful silver fish. As they flew, the small fish was in awe of the colours of the sky and the stars twinkling in the night. He felt alive, as if his spirit was being carried on the wings of the fish, and he had never felt so free before.
The sun was rising when the small fish realised that they were heading back down towards the ocean. As they reached its edge, he looked up just in time to see the silver fish’s tail separate from his own and with a gentle splash, it dove into the ocean. The small fish followed with a smile and once back in the water he decided to never forget the wonderful journey the mysterious silver fish had taken him on.
And from that day on, whenever he gazed into the depths of the sea, he always spotted an otherworldly creature with a long, shimmering tail and knew that it was the same silver fish, who had once shared with him a journey of discovery and freedom, a tale of the fish’s tail.
