Clever Fish Short Story In English With Moral

Once upon a time two fishes lived in a pond. They were both very bright. Indeed, they were so clever that one was called Great Brain and the other was called Greatest Brain.

Great Brain and Greatest Brain had a good friend, a frog.

Unfortunately, he was not bright at all. In fact, he was so foolish that he was called No Brain.

The fishermen came, and threw their nets so quickly over the water that all the fishes and frogs were caught. Then the fishermen put the fishes into their baskets and carried them off.

No Brain watched from his hiding place. Then he said to his wife, 'Cleverness is not everything, is it?
