Golden fish
Cristobal Cisternas
Once upon a time there was a pond, the deep one of fresh water, which had lives like plants and insects in the green water. Then the deep that among the warmest waters are the tiny fish, they are the smallest fish in the world, those slithered to play in the water, the purple fish called him:
"What will we do now?," he said to the tiny little fishes. Oh, I forgot what to say, but I would like to play with my brothers, others already swim!
"What things? To another place? Bugs or pond fish? No, I have to teach you another things, then you won't play anything entertaining," purple fish exclaimed, he was severe, strict and protective as a babysitter who didn't love affectionate, but only they take care of them while the tiny fish got hurt on the ground in deep of pond.
In the afternoon, a purple fish slipped that telling the most honorable story or legend seems to be the word of the king, behind the tiny little fishes they were leaving, they were bored that saying purple fish was not great forever repeated the same thing. One moment is the last little fish they created mischievous to hit another little fish, he took revenge with playing, we swam disorderly to the tiny fish that were surprising, others returned to play again in movement of water when the purple fish closed his eyes and spoke alone , he already felt the wind of water through his body, he doubted what to think then he looked behind him for silence, let him tell the process with his voice, while the tiny fish were silently restrained, each purple fish suspected that he does not care to let them ask them not even thinking ahead to leave them to come, he recounted a more accomplished legend in the voice he spoke to himself, behind the tiny little fish hid their silent laughter at the good memory that begins to be happy.
At night, the light blue moon shone, near the wild garden, homeless, deep, the tiny fish were sleeping, someone woke up quickly before sleeping difficult that is not well or calm, the purple fish is not here for he slept in another place, but we knew that, it almost seems to have disappeared to hide, the tiny little fish was alone to see the moon raised in the calmer water, he had an idea again to play the water like running in the pond, he rocked another tiny little fish that woke up three or more years ago not all in the hidden place to sleep in soft sand, we began to play let loose or swim, or chase him in the tiny little fish brighten the smile, but they were not laughing hard of voice because there you can hear, spend three hours of every night, when they played to slide the movement of water because the dance is the truth as there is game around, another or last tiny little fish hit to play softly to fall into the sand, appear and laughter, the tiny little fishes were amazed worried to save him from falling while another tiny fish laughed to slide each time up the glowing egg launches to hit the head of the tiny little fish was laughed and a little hitting a little hurts, while they gave cowardly to see a glowing egg because we fled hidden, that magical and strange creature appeared in the depths of the pond, at a time that it was a new egg of light, but they thought it to be that, a tiny fish had been undecided that seeing that yellow egg and the tiny little fish hid at best two seen in that pond place. When the tiny little fish touched the egg that was moving, there they were scared to flee to the hidden place while the egg will crack to break, to the fragments passing the most luminous body to end the light in the goldfish was beautiful, for a yellow body and flake brilliantly in we woke up wonderfully, the tiny little fishes saw the goldfish, they began to speak with greeting, he contemplated the smallest fishes in the world:
"Oh, are they midgets?" goblins? mice? bugs? exclaimed a Golden fish to the tiny little fishes, with an annoyed gesture of disbelief because they always said they were the same.
"It are the tiny little gray fish," he replied to goldfish, he was so amused, swimming around and around in the water.
While the tiny little fish had not understood with a neutral gesture for suspicion. Golden fish sang and danced allying includes playing the water, they felt disgusting because the goldfish was distracted and blessed as being crazy and foolish, but it is beautiful, when he caught his fin of tiny little fish to go on dancing or playing the water Around, he was happy that other tiny ones could happen to make Golden fish great, they interested him in playing hide-and-seek, chased and touched in the calm water in the pond. Golden fish talked about sharing with each one there, they ask him, talked sociable by some, they are happy because the fish is good, he seems to be a better teacher, but he wasn't. When the little fish reminded them two were very different from taking care of us, as Purple fish was so strict, as Golden fish was tolerant, at dawn the party appeared, it had soft music and water dance by swimming, the tiny fish dance the deep of water, others risk the water, the Golden fish saw joy, he has moved melody, another tiny little fish is alone and sad, he did not know that this would happen, however, soon the golden fish continued to surround him to caress the last tiny little fish, he was bored:
"I didn't like listening to the song, I didn't like to dance either," he answered because he never listened to music, we already lived wild for a long time because we didn't use music and song. I'll tell you the most adventurous legend!
"The legend? I don't like the story of a king, a castle, a prince,” said the last tiny little fish.
"Eh! what do you say?" I don't say the king, castle or prince ever, you don't know that legend anymore, follow me —exclaimed Golden fish slipped to the tiny little fish by calling them to stop the song, play and dance it's over.
They followed him to swim towards that place of the Golden Fish and the tiny little fish, for a moment, paying attention, we began to tell the legend: “In the sea, the Golden Fish slipped into another ocean, he investigated to witness the shells and small marine animals …” advances telling the legend of Golden Fish while the tiny little fish are sleeping in the sand with small algae, Golden fish's side was happy to leave the legend told by going out there, at night at dawn.
On the day on clear and pure sun, in the wild garden with forest pond, the Purple fish yelled to get up for the tiny little fish were sleeping:
"Please, wake up," he said angrily, knocking on a shell like a bell. While they disturbed noises by waking up fast, swimming stopped, getting up surprising beyond late in time, they are called rumored “Where's Golden fish?” Because of the tiny little fish spoken, the Purple Fish suspected him with silent eyes and listened.
"Hey, we're going to the center of the patio, I'm going to tell you the royal legend," Purple Fish exclaimed there.
We marched the tiny little fishes to follow Purple Fish when he spoke to count long and only every time the tiny little fishes die of tiredness because they tried to sleep because of swollen eyes, because they fell to the ground in water or pond sand. He looked behind, feeling angry to challenge them with a howl: "What did you do last night?" at the tiny little fishes, they were denied by shaking their heads.
"Golden fish," said the purple fish over there, they were surprising what to say. "He's the wizard in my dream."
While the tiny little fish said to confirm what another said. The purple fish left the questions, but he inquired curious what would happen to know about them, the little fish don't care, we started to teach them some other things, in the afternoon.
The other night, in inside the pond, the tiny little fish had waited for Golden fish to arrive, which we thought: “appears at midnight” after four hours, they were almost bored no doing. The tiny little fish created a new dance or played the water, we began to play the song for everyone, another was the last tiny little fish still doesn't like that song the music, someone went there at the same time, again it hit someone to find him, suddenly gave:
"Purple Fish," said the last tiny little fish that got scared.
They saw him appear as a purple fish, he smiled because he knew that making the night was very entertaining, even fun for them. When the purple fish showed them to arrive Golden Fish had been invited, we are amazed what happened:
"What's up, Golden fish?" I think he is not a good fish because he kidnapped him, right? —The tiny little fishes said to Golden fish, he smiled while the Purple Fish showed no emotion because he had seen them when they were talking, they should understand the solution before.
"Don't worry, the protective wasn't to blame because you disrespect all places, so he wanted to teach maturity and humility to learn the best, we are no longer kings, let's never say bad and ugly words nothing to criticize other animals."
Golden fish advised the tiny little fishes, they will have been sorry that they thought they could say to Purple Fish: "Sorry, I'm a child and they are childish that wanting to be played by I would like to laugh" to him, he endured to accept to accept said at the morning, we have the new time will be entertained for two new teachers different from a golden fish and a purple fish. Then the tiny little fishes cheer and swim around in celebration of two protectives for joy.
"See you in the morning," they reply to the little fish, they go to sleep in the comfortable and warm sand.
On the next day, it was beautiful and sweet, getting up to slide towards those teachers-protectives who had waited for the class in water by pond, there was first time it was teaching Purple Fish who taught serious and important things for legends and respectful lives, after three hours, there is a second time was teaching Golden fish who taught him to dance, responsibility, desired and happy things in entertainment.
In the afternoon, Golden fish and Purple fish are together with the tiny little fishes, they are playing the water for they have swum while the Goldfish talked a lot of fun to Purplefish, tried to laugh, to share positive and happiness, in the wild garden pond and the forests.
