 "The Three Fishes"


Tale of the Three Fishes: A Panchatantra Story



                    Once upon a time, in a beautiful pond, there lived three fishes. Their names were  
                    Anagatavidhata (He who plans ahead), Pratyutpannamati (He who thinks fast), and                                Yadbhavishya (He who believes in fate).

One day, while swimming near the surface, they overheard two fishermen discussing 
their plan to catch fish from the pond the next morning. Anagatavidhata, the 
wisest of the three, immediately called for a meeting.

 "We must leave this pond tonight," said Anagatavidhata. "I have already discovered a nearby canal that we can escape to."


Pratyutpannamati, the quick thinker, agreed, "We should act swiftly and leave before the fishermen arrive." However, Yadbhavishya, who believed in fate, refused to leave. "I have lived here all my life, and whatever is destined to happen will happen. I will not leave my home."

That night, Anagatavidhata and Pratyutpannamati swam through the canal and reached safety. The next morning, as the fishermen arrived, Yadbhavishya was caught in their net, unable to escape his fate.

 


"Moral of the Story"

The story of the three fishes teaches us the importance of planning ahead and being adaptable in the face of danger. 

                             "Let us remember to be proactive and adaptable in our own lives."



I hope you enjoyed this story from the Panchatantra. Stay tuned for more stories and adventures on Tales Old 'N' New!
