The Little Black Fish

It was the longest night in winter. At the bottom of the sea, Granny Fish gathered together 12,000 of her children and grandchildren and began to tell them a story: “Once upon a time Little Black Fish lived with her mother in a small pool on the side of a mountain. She did not have any brothers or sisters. Her mother had laid 10,000 eggs, but she was the only one who was still alive. Their home was behind a black rock that was covered in green moss, and this is where they slept at night.
