In a peaceful Indian village by a shimmering river, three colorful fish named Chintu, Bittu, and Lali loved to play among the lotus flowers and reeds. One bright morning, Chintu noticed something strange—a faint, almost invisible net stretched across the water, blending with the water lilies. Curious and a little worried, the three friends wondered what it was and why it was there. They decided to find out together, feeling brave and full of hope to protect their home.
As the fish swam closer, they saw that the net was made of fine, almost invisible threads, woven carefully among the water plants. Lali, the wisest of the three, gently touched the net with her fin and exclaimed, 'This looks like a trap! Someone might be trying to catch us or other fish.' The friends felt a mix of fear and determination. They knew they had to warn their fellow creatures and find a way to keep their home safe from harm.
Bittu, who loved stories of clever animals, suggested, 'Maybe we can untangle the net or find a way to show everyone it’s there.' Chintu had an idea—he called all the small fish and water creatures to gather. Together, they devised a plan: the tiny fish would nibble at the net’s edges, and the larger creatures would help spread the word. As they worked together, the net slowly loosened, and the creatures cheered, feeling proud of their teamwork and bravery.
With the net finally free, the fish and their friends celebrated their success. Lali reminded everyone, 'We must always look out for each other and be brave when facing challenges.' The villagers, hearing about the fish’s cleverness, decided to remove all hidden nets from the river to keep it safe for everyone. The three fish swam happily, knowing that their courage and teamwork had saved their home. From that day, they shared their story, teaching everyone that kindness, cleverness, and working together can overcome any obstacle.
