This is the story of the lake and the three fish that 
were in it, one of them intelligent, another half-
intelligent, and the third, stupid. Some fisherman came 
to the edge of the lake with nets and the three fish saw 
them. The intelligent fish decided at once to make the 
long, difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, "I won't 
consult with these two on this. They will only weaken my 
resolve, because they love this place so. They call it 
home and the ignorance will keep them here" and so the 
intelligent fish made its whole length a moving footprint 
and, like a deer the dogs chase, suffered greatly on its 
way, but finally made it to the edgeless safety of the 
sea.
