The Little Black Fish

Synopsis

The story is being told by an old fish to her children and grandchildren about a Little Black Fish who, tired and dissatisfied with his life without any purpose in a small brook, decides to venture out in search of the sea and to learn about life in other parts of the world. At each phase of the journey he sees something new, faces threats, acquires awareness and is proud of his wise decision. In one part small fishes join him, but when caught in the pelican's pouch, they blame him for having tricked them; and beg the enemy to let them kill him in exchange for their lives.
