 Example of narrative story
• Three Fishes

Orientation
Once, three fishes lived in a pond. One
evening, some fishermen passed by the pond
and saw the fishes. 'This pond is full of fish',
they told each other excitedly. 'We have never
fished here before. We must come back
tomorrow morning with our nets and catch
these fish!' Then the fishermen left.
Complication
When the eldest of the three fishes heard this, he was
troubled. He called the other fishes together and said, 'Did
you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this
pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill
us all!' The second of the three fishes agreed. 'You are
right', he said. 'We must leave the pond.‘
But the youngest fish laughed. 'You are worrying without
reason', he said. 'We have lived in this pond all our lives,
and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these
men return? I am not going anywhere - my luck will keep
me safe.'
Resolution
The eldest of the fishes left the pond that very
evening with his entire family. The second fish
saw the fishermen coming in the distance early
next morning and left the pond at once with all
his family. The third fish refused to leave even
then.
The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left
in the pond. The third fish's luck did not help him
- he too was caught and killed.
The fish who saw trouble ahead and acted before
it arrived as well as the fish who acted as soon as
it came both survived. But the fish who relied
only on luck and did nothing at all died. So also in
life.
