When The Time Is Right

When the Time Is Right

One quiet night, a grandmother tells her two grandchildren a strange story about an intelligent fish who will do anything to protect his family.

Twelve-year-old E listens carefully, but when she asks what the story means, her grandmother gives her only one answer:

"You'll know when the time is right."

Ten years later, E still remembers that story-and the smile her grandmother wore that night.

Now, perhaps it's time for the story to be told again.
