My wife! My wife! I must be with my wife! I care for her much more than for my life!
My wife! My wife! I must be with my wife! I care for her much more than for my life!
The adviser thought, Truly this fish has gone crazy. He is in this terrible state because he became a slave to his own desire. And it is clear that he has learned nothing from the results of his actions. If he dies keeping such agony, and the desire that caused it, in his mind, he will surely continue to suffer by being reborn in some hell world. Therefore, I must save him!
So this kind man went over to the fi shermen and said, Oh my friends, loyal subjects of our king, you have never given me and my followers a fish for our curry. Wont you give us one today?
They replied, Oh royal minister, please accept from us any fi sh you wish! This big one on the river bank looks delicious, said the adviser. Please take him, sir, they said.
Then he sat down on the bank. He took the fi sh, who was still groaning, into his hands. He spoke to him in the language only fish can understand, saying,
You foolish fish! If I had not seen you today, you would have gotten yourself killed. Your blind desire was leading you to continued suffering. From now on, do not let yourself be trapped by your own desires!
Then the fish realized how fortunate he was to have found such a friend. He thanked him for his wise advice. The minister released the lucky fi sh back into the river, and went on his way.
