Web Source: Gateway

• There were 3 fish who lived in a river
• They were named thoughtful, very thoughtful, and thoughtless
• The 3 fish left the safety of the country and swam straight into the dangers of humans
• Very thoughtful saw men catching fish with all kinds of nets 
• Very thoughtful warned the other 2 fish of the dangers associated with the river
• They did not listen and swam far ahead
• They ended up getting caught and very thoughtful was left alone
• Very thoughtful knew that the other 2 needed saving and devised a plan
• Very thoughtful made splashing noises that made it seem like fish had escaped from the net
• The human picked the net up from a corner
• This allowed for the 2 fish to swim free
• thoughtful and thoughtless thanked very thoughtful for rescuing them
• Together, they returned to the safety of the country
