be a big fish, and he didn't want to share it with
his neighbours. So, he told his son to go home

and start a quarrel with the neighbours, making

sure they wouldn't ask about the fish.

The son did as his father said, and the

neighbours got upset. They took the matter to

the village chief, and the fisherman's wife joined

in by calling them names. As a result, she got into trouble and was beaten .

Meanwhile, the fisherman tried to retrieve the fish but ended up getting

blinded by the snag . He cried for help, but no one came to his aid. The fisherman

learned a valuable lesson about being selfish.
