THE FISH AND MR. SHARK

Once upon a time, there was a friendly, understanding and a kind-hearted fish named Lulu. He had many friends around but his best friend was Zayud. He was depressed when Zayud was caught by the fisherman. One day, Lulu said emotionally., " My life was covered by the darkness since my best friend Zayud was gone., so, it's better to live alone in a far place. " Lulu, the fish swam and went away from his friends.

" It's not easy to forget you my friend, but I'll do this to drain away the pain in my heart. " He said delicately. The fish reached the place away from his hometown. There, Lulu became so weak and hopeless. He was always crying and used to forget his meal everytime. One morning, he sat in a big rock alone. "Zayud! Zayud! Zayud! He raved with his teary eyes. While emoting, he saw a shadow of a big object that was coming from his back.

" A ship?? " Whispered Lulu curiously. When he took a look for it, he saw a very big shark. His body was trembled by intense fear. " Please do not hurt me Mr. Shark! Please let me go now?! " The pity little fish shouted. The Shark smiled at him and said., " Don't be afraid little fish.... I won't hurt you. " Lulu stared Mr. Shark's eyes. The shark smiled.

The fish and Mr. Shark became friends and no one hurted Lulu because Mr. Shark used to protect him from other sharks around. The two loved singing together, strolling, playing around, and story telling. Lulu shared to Mr. Shark about his best friend and told him the reason why he decided to live away from their hometown. And also, Mr. Shark shared to the little fish the love story between him and his wife who passed away one year ago. Even though Lulu was in the stage of melancholy, Mr. Shark however, made him laugh because this shark was a quite joker. " Everyone has a problem...so, cheer up Lulu, my brother! " Mr. Shark said while dancing. Lulu kissed Mr. Shark's eye and they were happy joking each other.

After few weeks of their friendship, Mr. Shark spoke., " Lulu, I will be going far away, my brother. You promise me that you'll be all right and live your life no doubts at all. " The silence suddenly broke when the tears flowed in the eyes of the pity little fish. After a couple of seconds, " You promise, you come again. " Lulu said. (╥╯﹏╰╥)ง Mr. Shark sigh. " I can't promise to play with you, and maybe we could never sing our favorite songs again. But, I'll be happy if someday in my way far, I see you strong and happy. " Added Mr. Shark.

Lulu understood what he meant to say. That moment, the pain engulfed his heart. The fish hugged Mr. Shark tightly. " Good bye my friend...good bye my brother." Mr. Shark said in a mellow voice and went on his way. Lulu did not know that Mr. Shark had been suffering for years due to fins cancer. When Mr. Shark was gone, Lulu realized that not everything you had in your life will stay forever. So, despite of disappointment and pain, he smile and said in a brave way,.

" I will go back to my hometown and there, I will live happily together with my friends." He made those obstacles as a path to continue his journey in life. Lulu, the fish went back to their hometown and live with his friends happily ever after.

Moral lesson: " Better to LIGHT a CANDLE than to curse a darkness... "
