Sally the Fish

 

There once was a fish named Sally, who lived in a stream in the valley.

Every day, she would swim around and explore. Under rocks, within the roots of plants, everywhere in the stream.

When the sun rose high in the sky, Sally would duck into those shadowy spots where passing birds wouldn't be able to find her.

Life was good.

Then one day, there came a very bad storm.

The stream was flooded in the downpour, and the current ran fast with an iron grip.

Poor Sally got caught out in the current, and was carried all the way downstream to the pond.

Now, Sally was a little stream fish, so the big pond scared her. She kept to the edges closest to her former stream, but the current was too strong for her to make it by upstream.

So, Sally resigned herself to live in the pond.

After a time though, all the things which had scared her about the pond fanded from her mind as she got to know the wonders of the pond.

And though many of the fish in the pind were bigfer than her, they were all very nice to Sally.

And so Sally the fish went from living in the stream to living in the pond.
