Somewhere in land resided a person who knew a story that she will

tell to you , a story about something deep , pure and secret that it is so sacred

A song she composed for a creature and that she hopes the creature dances to it ,

oh no its not a a creature , its a thing yes a thing , cute , sweet and free somewhat

like her perhaps .

She glances at the children waiting for her story , she is nervous

looks out the window and then says ok , and tells her little children not

to distract her when she is telling the story .They eagerly nod with impatience

and enthusiasm which is nothing short of compelling .

“A for Alpha , B for banana , C for catfish , D for dogfish , and F for----- “

“fairyfish” , the children replied loud in chorus , and other teachers from outside

were looking at the class in curiosity , somehow this seems interesting .

“Yes , F for fairyfish I was expecting you guys to say fail ....,

shows good thought , and lack of thought “ ,

she was yelling a little , “ok this is a story about a fairy fish “

“and what will be her name ?” , asked one fat kid ,

“tell you later , actually you guys name it , a decent name by the way “,

she looked angrily at the kids , who had knowledge of all kinds of words

which she did not at their age , they should be about 7 or 8 years old being

at grade 3 .

Before human life there was only sea life , and the favorite of that was

the fish , it used to swim with ease before birds learned to fly ,

yes they were flying in water . They swim without care shaking their back

tail area and sailing to far water areas ....They breathed bubbles that

came to the surface of the sea water and burst or vanished like magic .

The world outside was unknown to them , it was calm throughout , in storm ,

in rain , in heat , in cold , in day , in night , their life was nothing short of

paradise .They fed on plants and swam until one day , a little fishy was

pricked with a plant thorn , blood oozed from her and she struggled in pain .

She never cried and other fishes could not understand what pain was ,

she stayed back in pain while the other herd of fishes left her swimming in their

free flowing rhythm .She fell down deeper and deeper to darker parts

on a shell full of peals and she became a queen of peals .

She died and the shell closed , legend has it she went to sleep like a sleeping

beauty until something would one day wake her up .

“The kiss of a handsome prince?“, a girl with smiling cheeks enquired ,

the teacher smiled in reply , “ no interrupting ok Rathi “,

“maam , you gave me shabash for my hindi poem , agar mei machali hoti “,

the teacher thought about it . Yes Rati it was a wonderful poem , but now back

to the story “.

“it was a world from where the sea horses emerged , and worms on the land

produced silk when they were on water , silky soft heart was said to be inside

the sleeping fish , the heart that can make a killer shark die for her .”

A earthquake rocked the shell and came awake the sleeping fish , the noise

was her hero the awaker ....she swam out from the shell and saw all things like treasures ,

and a string instrument , the sea dropping down things from top that looked

scared , and definitely a class lower species than herself but they were forcefully

carried away somewhere . She played the string instrument that quited the storm ,

and kept playing it , which aroused the love(mating) season not just for the world

in the ocean but also outside it . Yes , she stays like pure old pearl still young ,

years later , after life in land emerged and developed , she had a long , long sleep

and therefore escaped the attack of sharks that emerged because of anger and fish

wars where fish fought fish and hurt each other and eat each other .

The dark ages of the sea , she was a princess in the true sense .

The fish swam between the pearls , and swallowed one , because of which she became

a pearl fish ....she feel in weight back to the shell dieing again ,

while love , peace came about and died when she again fell a sleep .

She floated up one day , and a human laid eyes on her , she was a fish ,

not anywhere in any kind of species ....a silvery , blue , huge beautiful fish ,

he called her the fairy fish and knew she would be a dream and not

possible to find ever again .

The moonlight was full and the fish jumped out of the water and fell ,

a dead butterfly was saved as the spider lost its live butterfly prey

because of the vibration ....from that time the secret to all of the sea was known ,

about a innocent beautiful fish who with the strength of a wandering innocence ,

wandered but will cease to survive being as she is , unless she is in hiding for ever .

She was silky with wings and played the sea instrument , cupid the young boy

jumped into the sea and saw her playing the instrument .

He observed her , and became a love master , the prince of the fairy queen ,

he respected her and until his lifetime would protect her , her innocence

and purity , this fairy fish was peace , a angle , a child , a women ,

and cupid was her protector , but a little boy who stole the fairy fishes instrument ,

and flu to the clouds and is said to have played the music of the fairy fish ....

The fairy fish knew about cupid , and she did not understand how her wings

came with invisible silks on her sides ....she was sad because she was different and knew

that she is to hide from the eyes and clutches of the sea creatures .

She became sad and more beautiful , she began singing smiling and blowing

the grass and sea weeds , the sea horses soon danced around her ....

She never noticed them , they never acknowledged their presence ,

they admired her like a innocent God that would not be touched , troubled

and disturbed for ever . Cupid came down from the skies and kept the instrument

back to her ....he played her the fairy fish tune , and the fairy fish stared at him ,

with anger , hurt , she stared and he was her first disturbance .

He smiled at her , and gave her a white woolen soafy cloth made of soft cloud

vopours ....it was flowers for her and it melted and she cried and tasted her

own fresh water , everybody knew she was different ....

she felt the pain of a struggling bleeding little fish and cried , she hated everything

suddenly .

Cupid sat next to her but she never looked at him , and forever never played

the instrument and never sang , cupid was the culprit that changed the fairy fish ,

she was no angelic innocent god anymore ....

He showed her turtles and made her smile , the turtle was like her as it could hide

and show , she kept it with her and it lived and played with her , her companion ,

a visible and invisible creature and a amazing shell and a rock ....

The fairyfish liked Cupid , her wings touched cupids hands , it kept touching with

its swimming wings while he played her tune to her and made her sleep ,

and she slept in sea , in the clouds , in silk , bashing in the sun ,

her turtle in the sleep next to her shell pearl throne .

When the turtle awoke it and the sea horses would push the fairy fish

in the sea ...., Cupid lost her eventually as a storm broke in the sea

while the turtle and the sea horses protected and pushed the fairy fish further .

Cupid knew one day he would find his queen fairy fish , and knew she would

be a pearl in the infinite ocean . The fairy fish would be able to fly when she

wakes up , he carried her all to the his cloud heavens , he could make because of her .

The teacher saw all other teachers sitting in class listening to her ,

lunch break went , all classes had 2 free periods and she stopped ,

and left telling she would complete the story later .

“A lovely story , loved it “ , a fellow teacher told her ,

She left to her staff room chair and sat with a cup of coffe .

The story should continue later after the teacher recovers from embarrassment ,

and her fellow teachers would come off from the fairy fish wonderland zone .

The children laughed and made noise ....

just as the song goes “ we don't need no education ,

we don't need be full controled ,

lots of hasles in the class room ,

teachers leave the kids alone “

“hey teachers leave the kids alone ,

all and all its just a ,another brick in the wall “

(maybe continued later if the fairy fish is alive , Cupid may feel she will be alive ,

but how can she have so many lives ? , was she a cat with 9 lives ,

God never heard of faries having infinite lives but yes Gods have said to

have died and risen again , this fish is some fairy fish and a dum story

about a fairy fish that may have died and gone , stupid teacher left the story incomplete ,

I bet that fairy fish died so she did not complete the story - ------) - anonymous critical thinker ,

who is confused about the fairy fishes plight .....

incase the fairy fish died may her soul rest in peace ....amen !
