And so the little fish began to swim!
It’s very hard to swim upstream. The water tried to push him back to the sea. The torrent became fast and powerful. It smashed him against river rocks and hurt him horribly, but still he fought on. Then he came to a waterfall, and it seemed the little fish would die trying to swim up the mountain of water, but finally the brave little fish managed to reach the top. He was so tired that he thought, “I can swim no further. I am sorry I could not finish and help everyone, and he flopped up onto the land to die. Still, as the fish panted for breath, he did not realize he had made it all the way to the beginning of the river. Suddenly he felt his body growing bigger and bigger, and his nose and tail growing longer and longer, and his teeth growing great and sharp. The fish looked at himself in the water and saw that he was no longer tiny and weak. He was a great dragonl (ryu).
