The Fish with the "Shiny Scales"Everybody knows this one I guess: It's the story of the little fish with the shiny scales.
He is so beautiful that some friends (?) get jealous and want him to give them one. Of course he doesn't like it, so all the friends turn away and he is all alone and very sad.
At some point all the other fish turn away and he is all alone and very sad.
Later he finds the big wise octopus in a hole deep down in the water who tells him to give up his nice scales and distribute them to his friends so they would like him again. Wow, what a message!!!!
Thanks for Sharing!
So little Rainbow Fish goes back up and shares all his scales among his friends and everybody loves him but he ends up with only one scale at the end to keep for himself.
Lucky Rainbow Fish: If he had just one more friend, he would have ended up with NO SHINY SCALES at all. Ummm...
The pictures are quite soft and sweet but the message isn't a real world story.
My comment: Fish & Chips, please!
My rating: 2 out of 5 stars
I suppose he must be happy even with only one beatiful scales.
ReplyDeleteWe feel sorry with any frinds.
Fish story had reminded me another story titled "Swimmy" I love this book. Have you ever read? If you did, please tell me your impression.
Wauw Tobias, thank you for this opportunity to give my opinion about this book! A very good message actually! If you give nice, shiny presents, everybody wants to be your friend...!! hmm. I would be a friend. I'm a material girl! See you! Lisa
ReplyDeleteAgreed! That book just teaches kids that materialism is the key to getting friends. Hmmm :(
