A large number of fish gathered one day and started discussing why so many of them were falling victims to the fishermen’s hooks. Various reasons for this were given. The tuna said ‘That’s because the hook is hidden by some attractive food....’ The swordfish claimed ‘that’s because curiosity is impossible to control....’ The sea bass said ‘ that’s because no one believes me when I tell them that the danger is hidden.’ Then an old, wise fish spoke up and proclaimed ‘Fellow fish, the reasons you gave were all good, but I think the poor fish are getting caught because they simply open their mouth. If they were strong enough to keep their mouth shut, they would never have been caught!’
