There were three big fish living in a beautiful lake by the city. They were very close friends. All three of them were very different from one another. The first fish believed in fate. He thought things cannot be changed and what has to happen will happen, no matter what. The second fish was intelligent. He thought he knew how to solve a problem with his intelligence. The third fish was the wise one. He thought long and hard before acting.
One day, the fish were happily playing around in the water when, the wise fish overheard a fisherman talking to another. "Look at that one, what a big fish. This lake is full of big fish. Let us come back tomorrow and catch them."
On hearing the news, the fish hurriedly swam to his friends. "Let us get out of this lake before those fishermen come back. I know of a canal that can take us to another lake." The intelligent fish said "I can take care of myself if the fishermen come." The fish who believed in fate said "whatever has to happen will happen. I was born in this lake and I am not going to leave it." The wise fish did not want to risk his life and so he took the route through the canal and left his friends.
The fishermen came back the next day and cast their nets. They caught many fish along with the two friends who stayed behind. The intelligent fish acted as if he was dead and escaped. The fishermen threw him back into the lake with all the other dead fish that were caught the net. However, the fish who believed in fate was caught and killed.
