A Little Fish Learns to Hop


(I am bringing here to share whatever seems interesting to me. This is a short story by my son. Of course, I find it interesting because he wrote it!)


One morning at sea in Canada. A little fish lived in the sea.

He was not satisfied in his swimming. He was sad. He was unhappy.

He told himself, "I want to learn to hop. Then, I will be very happy.'


One day, he was swimming in the water. He saw a Dolphin in the sea.

He asked him, "I want to hop. If I ask, you can teach me or not?".

"Yes, I will teach you", the Dolphin said. The fish was very happy.

The Dolphin said- "One step you move and jump from the sea to the sky".

The little fish was very happy.


One day, the little fish saw a shark in the sea. The shark was coming fast to eat the fish.

The fish had an idea. He hopped and escaped over the shark's open mouth.

The shark was very very angry.

And he got a heart-attack and died.


Moral: We should not be angry.

  1. That's a nice one from a 8 year old. I liked the moral. If you are angry then even a small fish can make you look stupid. ;)

  3. To me, may be the moral is that when I get angry and get shouting, could he be thinking, "drop dead!"!

  4. Very well written.
    You should tell the author to write more stories and post them here. It is succinct and has a great flow.
    The short sentences make the story lively.

    Of course, had the fish been angry, it would have never got to hopping and would have been eaten.

  5. Thank you.
    He is eight.
    I find that it is composed of shots. Like a film script.
    He is totally untutored.
    It just goes to show how children absorb. He mostly sees tv and animated films, and his story comes out like a script.
