Bibliography: Maude Dutton, The Fables of Bidpai
- · There was a pond far from the road.
- · Three fish lived in it and were content with life.
- · One fish always used his wit
- · The second one used his sometimes
- · The third never used his wit.
- · Two fishermen saw the large fat fish and wanted to go grab their nets to catch them.
- · All the fish heard and laid in terror.
- · The first fish swam to the outlet of the pond to get away.
- · The fisherman returned and missed one of the fish.
- · There was no escape for the other two because the fishermen stopped the outlet.
- · The second fish who sometimes used his wit floated belly up and when the fishermen caught him they threw him back because they thought he was dead.
- · The last fish swam to the bottom and was caught.
- · He was served at the kings table that night.
