There was a fish who wished he was a sailor. He saw a sailor looking over the side of the boat into the blue green water, looking free and without care. The fish hoped to be caught to see the sailor up close, but the sailor didn’t fish.  One day the wind kicked up and the boat keeled over so far the sailor fell in. Their eyes locked and the fish saw his fear.  The sailor climbed back into the boat. The fish swam away, happy to be a fish.
