Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell is about three fish. Many years ago, there were three fish. One of the fish believed in good luck. It believed if its luck was good, everything would be fine for it. Another one said if it was strong, everything would be good for it. Strength could do anything. Then the last one said, "No! We have to be clever, intelligent and wise, so that we can get many benefits." They told each other that let's stay like that then. One day, some people came there to set fish traps. They threw the fishing net in the river. Then those three fish were stuck in that fishing net. When they were stuck in the net, one of the fish said, "We have to use our strength. We have to use our strength. Then we can be free from this." Then it kept struggling to be free from the net. When it struggled too much, the fishermen hit that fish with a paddle and said, 'What's wrong with this fish?" Then they beat the fish on the head and killed it. The fish which believed in strength was dead after getting beat on the head. And then another fish which believed in luck thought, "If my luck is good, I can stay alive. If not, I will die." The fishermen took all the fish out from the net and put them in the boat. But it just slept in the boat and went along with them. Then another fish which thought it had to be intelligent and wise stayed silent and pretended like it was dead. It didn't move a bit and just kept pretending like a death. Then the fishermen thought it would be the dead fish and just put it in the boat. They drove the boat and it was in the middle of the river. Then the fish which was intelligent and wise jumped into the water immediately when the boat leaned to one side. Fortunately, the fishermen couldn't catch it back since the water was deep in that place. Then it could successfully escape from the fishermen. The fish which believed in luck just followed the fishermen the whole day without attempting anything. Then they arrived home. It couldn't run away anymore. When they were home, they happily cooked that fish with chilli and salt and ate it. So we can't believe only in luck. We can't use only strength without thinking. The fish which could successfully escape from the fishermen used not only its strength but also its brain and intelligence. So we, human, need to use our strength and need to believe in luck too. Not only that, we need to act wisely and have intelligence. We have to use all those in the right place. So that our lives can be improved. The fish which was free from the fishermen was the fish which used its intelligence and brain, its luck and its strength. It could escape since it used all those three things wisely.
