THE WATER GUN

OF THE FISH
This fish shoots the water it has filled in its mouth on insects
sitting on branches overhanging the water. The insect falls,
due to the pressurised water and becomes an easy prey to the
fish. It is worth noting that while launching the attack, the
fish does not lift its head out of the water at all, and spots the
location of its prey accurately. As is widely known, when
viewed from under water, objects outside the water seem,
due to the refraction of light, at a different location from
where they really are. Therefore, to be able to "hit" a target
outside the water from under the water, one needs to know
the refractive angle of the light and make the "shot"
accordingly. However, this fish innately copes with this
difficulty and hits the mark every time.

He is Allah - the Creator,

the Maker, the Giver of
Form. To Him belong the

Most Beautiful Names.
Everything in the heavens

and earth glorifies Him.
He is the Almighty, the

All-Wise.
(Surat al-Hashr: 24)
