Three Fish And A Chance a Found Poem For Children Poem by Indira Renganathan

Note: Below is the original text for this found poem taken from 'The New Sunday Express Magazine', part of the daily newspaper 'The New Indian Express' group ---Modern Panchatantra At Work Once, there lived three fish in a pond.They were very thick with each other despite their difference of opinion.The first fish was smart, the second one knew how to dodge trouble and the third was adament and against any changes.One day the first fish overheard a group of fishermen's conversation about returning the next day for a good catch.Sensing danger he alerted his friends to leave the pond. the second fish said, 'I will stay here and find a way out if I'm caught.' The third one, as was his wont, didn't want to relocate: 'I won't leave my place of my birth.I will remain here and if I have to get caught, I will.' The first fish moved out without delay.The next day, the fishermen arrived and caught the other two fish.The second one cleverly escaped by pretending to be dead.The third fish got caught and died in the fishermen's net. Moral: Take immediate action when you sense danger for yourself or for your organisation.One should always be open to change and adapt to new situations and arrangements accordingly. Change is only permanent.
