The fish live in the water, the wide aquatic world is his hearth, of a place for other they swim looking for his meal, enjoying happy stock. But the greedy fisherman usually goes to networks and fishhooks to capture them and eats up them use with wine and rice.
As the fish were not very satisfied with this situation they went to put a demand in the courthouse.
The judge asked him: "Whom do you sue?"
The fish said: "To the fisherman"
The judge continued: "Of what do you accuse the fisherman?"
The fish answered: "I neither am his enemy I have not even offended him, but he gets into debt in coming with his networks to capture me and to eat up, and this way our population is every time a minor."
The judge continued: "When the fisherman comes with his networks to capture you: do you look if the network is closed at the top?"
He did not say the fish.
"And why do not you jump to go out at the top?" the judge continued.
"We have not thought it" he said the fish.
The judge continued: "Have you looked if the network has fund or not?"
"Not, not" he said the fish.
"And because you do not go below and go out of the network?" the judge continued.
"He does not hope that we go out, but the fisherman pulls the network and drags us with her." He answered the fish.
"In addition to this: do you have any other accusation?" the a little tired judge urged him.
"Yes, there is times that the fisherman uses fishhooks to capture us." He said the angrier and angrier fish.
"And that exists in the fishhook?"
"There is a worm, this is what the fisherman uses generally to touch us."
"That surprised. It seems that you are predestined to turn into the meal of the fisherman. To the knowledge that you sting the fishhook with so much facility, I am thinking of going to go fishing and putting in my fishhook a little of butter."
The fish lost the suit, what could be reasonable turned into absurdity. That unjust. On having turned to house the fish, it was angrier and angrier, and he finished with dying of the grief. But dead person still did not close the eyes. And nowadays it keeps on being like that.
This is a story of Yao of the Province of Guangxi.
