Aesop | Greece
A Thunny and A Dolphin
A frightened Thunny being chased by a Dolphin cleverly leads them both to the shore, where they both get stranded.
Once upon a time, in the vast and shimmering ocean, a Thunny, a kind of fish, found itself being chased by a Dolphin. The Thunny was very scared and started to swim towards the shore, where the water wasn't too deep.
The Dolphin, determined to catch the Thunny, followed him into the shallow water. But the Thunny was clever. Seeing the Dolphin was still chasing him, the Thunny swam even closer to the beach, where the waves were strong and the water was much shallower.
Suddenly, a large wave lifted the Thunny and threw him onto the sandy beach. The Thunny found himself out of the water, unable to swim back to the ocean.
The Dolphin, too eager and moving too fast, couldn't stop in time. He also ended up on the beach, out of the water and stranded just like the Thunny.
Seeing this, the Thunny looked at the Dolphin, who was now in the same difficult situation as him. The Thunny then said, "Even though I'm in trouble, I feel a little better knowing that the one who wanted to harm me is also in trouble."
