Reading notes: The Three Fishes (B)

 Source: The Three Fishes

By Ellen C. Babbitt

A far away river, so cute! Like a fairytale usually starts with in a land far away!

I liked the names describing their thoughtfulness: Thoughtful, Very Thoughtful, and Thoughtless.

Very-Thoughtful was the only fish to worry about fishermen catching them when they went to the river part close to a town.

So of course, thoughtful and thoughtless get caught in a net and very thoughtful feels like he must save them.

So the fish makes it seem like the net had broke.

The fisherman pulls the net in from just one corner so the other fishes could swim through. Once the other two fish were free, they were willing to go back to the country land to live safely.

This story is interesting because it shows how sometimes one will not think of other outcomes unless they experience it first. One should try to think of all outcomes before they do something, which can be hard with lack of experience.

I think wisdom can come from truly learning from others experiences, using everything around you to learn.
