### Then the clever fox saves the tiger. This is the best story.

### I listen to the story and then fall asleep.

# My fish! No, my fish!

### Kicchu woke up early one morning. “It is time to catch some fish,” he said yawning.

### He met Choru on the way to the pond. They were best friends who played all day long.

### Munia saw them marching with their fishing rods.  
"We are going to the pond to catch fish. Come along Munia, if you wish."

### Little Munia thought for sometime. "Please don't do that," she said, "without water, the fish will die."

### They did not listen to what Munia had to say. They headed to the pond straight away.

### Kicchu and Choru sat waiting by the pond. Two fish swam across, one thin and another round.

### Then came the third fish, the biggest one they had seen. Munia said laughing, "It is bigger than Appa's feet!"

### Kicchu and Choru held on tight to their rods.  
Kicchu screamed, "MY FISH!"  
Choru also screamed, "NO...MY FISH!"

[![10.jpg](https://library.aikyam.space/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/10.jpg)](https://library.aikyam.space/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/10.jpg)

### Kicchu pulled hard...  
Choru pulled harder...

### **PHAAATTT!** Both the rods broke.   
**THUDDD!** Kicchu fell to the ground.  
**SSSPPLAASH!** Choru fell in into the water.

### What had happened?  
What do you think?  
The fish had tied up both the strings!
