    Once upon a time, there was a fish named George. He 

lived in the water, as all fish do but something was 

different about George, he did not like the   water. He 

swam and swam around in the water, and every place he 

swam, he would find something that he did not like. First, 

he said that the rocks were to big, then he said that the 

rocks were too small. Nothing would please   him. 

The other fish in his school, all fish belong to a school, would try 

to cheer him up. They did not understand why he was unhappy. 

They loved swimming around in the shallow water and being 

together.

The school lived in the inter-coastal waters of South Florida. 

This water   was full of life and warmth. There was always plenty 

of food and activity and there was never a dull moment for these 

fish. However, for some reason, George felt restless and 

discontent and he wanted more. 

One   day, a big, old and wise fish came to visit his 

school. He listened intently. The old and wise one 

was telling of vast waters and limitless swimming. 

He was telling of great whales and big fish. He was 

also telling about   great light and darkness.

 Suddenly George wanted to experience this too. The 

other fish in his school were not interested but 

George was eager. He swam with the big fish 

towards these vast waters with great   dreams. He 

did not know where he was going but he trusted the 

older and wiser fish.

  Soon the water began to feel cold and he was 

seeing giant fish that looked very hungry. He would 

have been afraid for his life, but he was   much too 

excited by the new sights. Soon they came to a 

cave and they found a safe place for the night with 

food nearby.

  George liked it in the cave. It was very quiet and 

he could hear calming sounds. Melodious sound 

seemed to be coming from a long distance.   Even 

when the big fish swam away, George decided to 

remain. This was against all normal fish instinct, as 

fish wants to be with other fish. However,   George 

was not a normal fish.
