There lived a fish in one river. And she had no equal there in strength and size. She dominated over all the other fish, did with them what she wanted, judged and ordered. She considered everyone her slaves. And that fish became so proud of itself that it began to think: “It’s not fitting for me, so big and strong, to live in this river. I need the open spaces of the sea!”
And the fish went downstream to the sea. She swam, looked around, and she became scared - she couldn’t see the end or the edge, and there were sea monsters swimming around, baring their toothy mouths. The fish seemed so weak and small to itself, so lonely, that more than anything else it wanted to return to its native river. However, she had to endure a lot of hardships and disasters before she found her way home.
