It happened that a Fisher, after fishing all day, caught only a little
fish. "Pray, let me go, master," said the Fish. "I am much too small for
your eating just now. If you put me back into the river I shall soon
grow, then you can make a fine meal off me."
"Nay, nay, my little Fish," said the Fisher, "I have you now. I may not catch you hereafter."
A little thing in hand is worth more than a great thing in prospect.
"Nay, nay, my little Fish," said the Fisher, "I have you now. I may not catch you hereafter."

Finding Little Fish
Once there was a little fish swimming around the river hanging out with his friends. The little Fish's father strictly told him to not wander too far. While swimming around, the fish came upon a boat in the distance.The boat was floating in a dangerous area; his father specifically told him to avoid this area. The little Fish decided to ignore his father's wishes and he and his friends, driven by curiosity, swam to the boat.
When they finally reached the boat, they stared at in awe. They have never seen anything like it. The little Fish's friends dared him to touch the boat. They started chanting. "Touch the boat! Touch the boat! Touch the boat!" Succumbing into peer pressure, the little Fish swam to touch the boat. As he was swimming to the boat, a Fisher caught him by scooping him up in a bag.
The frightened little Fish did not know what to do. He tried negotiating to the Fisher, saying that if he let him go, he will find an even bigger fish for him. The Fisher replied that he did not care for a bigger fish because he was fishing not for himself but for his niece. The Fisher's niece has a birthday coming up and therefore he wishes to give her a present. A fish would be perfect; she loves fish.
Eventually the little Fish's father heard the news that his son had been captured. The Father driven by concern was determined to find his son and bring him back home even if it meant swimming the whole river to get there. The Father left the comfort and safety of his home to embark on the most dangerous journey he had every been on. Stories of the Father's bravery soon begin to spread throughout the river. He surpassed hungry bears, birds, and other dangerous predators.
While on his journey the Father made a friend -- a bird. Inspired by the Father's love for his son, the Bird decided to help the Father. The Bird knew where the little Fish was being held. He flew to the Fisher's home and saw the bag where the little Fish was put in. The Bird grabbed the bag and flew back to the river, where the little Fish and his father were once again reunited. The little Fish promised to never disobey his father. And the Father promised to be more open-minded.
Author's Note:
This story is based on the story of The Fisher and the Little Fish. The story "The Fisher and the Little Fish" can be found in Aesop's Fables. "The Fisher and the Little Fish" is about a little Fish who is captured by a Fisher. The little Fish tries to persuade his way out but is unsuccessful. This story reminded me of Finding Nemo. For my story I made the little Fish Nemo and the Fisher the "dentist." I also included that the little Fish's father went after him and overcame dangerous obstacles to save him just like the father in Finding Nemo.
The title is inspired by the movie Finding Nemo.

Your story followed right along with the movie plot of Finding Nemo. I've watched that movie several times. I love that movie. I liked how you made your story have a happier ending than in the story of the fisher and the little fish. In your story, the little fish lived a learned a valuable lesson just like Nemo did in the movie. I think you did an excellent job on paragraph breaks, sentence structure and spelling. Your font choice was easy to read and I didn’t have to change the size or color to make it easier to read. The choice of picture included perfectly fits in with your story. It almost seems like the fish is speaking to the fisher in the picture. It made me think about the part in your story where the little fish was trying to convince the fisher to let him go. My only minor criticism would be to write more of the story in active tense instead of passive tense. Overall, a great story.
ReplyDeleteI loved that you made your story into a version of Finding Nemo. I love that movie. It was nice to see that you changed the story into a happier version. I have to admit that I always like when a story has a happy ending. Overall, I feel like your story flowed really well and it was easy to read.
