There was once a beautiful woman who lived in a quaint little village. She longed to meet her prince charming since she was a little girl. She wanted to look into his dreamy dark eyes and know that he loved everything about her, even her bucktooth. He would take her away from her life of drudgery in the farm's fields. She often wondered where this prince charming would come from, and how she would meet him.
During a sleepy hot summer, the beautiful bucktooth woman was fishing from a riverbank, while trying to calculate how many children they would accommodate in a castle, when she caught a big slimy Bucktooth Tetra.
As she pulled the fish to the riverbank, she expected it would fight, however the fish just looked at her with its big eyes. Attractive dark eyes. So, while in the throes of midsummer madness, she sucked in her bucktooth and kissed the fish. Then she waited for her prince charming to appear.
Suddenly, angels sang, and a swirl of sparkling water surrounded them. She dropped her fishing line and was swept off her feet. Then, with a splash, two Bucktooth Tetra emerged from the bubbles and quickly swam upriver in unison.
The fishes wish had finally come true!
