One day, the blue fish heard some friends talking about the golden fish, and about her beauty and good character. The blue fish felt extreme jealousy, and she sat crying and felt envy, and said: I will make these fish see that I am the most beautiful fish.
The blue fish stood before the mirror and said: I want to appear more beautiful than the golden fish, and she spent a long time before the mirror, admiring her appearance before leaving the house every day. The blue fish went out of her house, carrying a basket to collect fruits, so her friends said to her you appear beautiful today.
The blue fish felt joy from the recognition of her friends of her beauty, and whenever she passed by a group of fish, she would stop and boast of her beauty and ask them: who is the most beautiful, me or the golden fish?
The Blue Fish Refuses to Save Her Friend: While the blue fish was walking with her friends, she heard a voice calling: help, please get me out of here, and one of the fish was trapped among the reeds, in the swamp of mud in the sea.
As soon as her friends approached to save her, the blue fish screamed and said: our clothes will get dirty, and the blue fish refused to approach to help the friends to save the trapped fish among the reeds, and departed the place.
But the golden fish advanced and began to try to save the fish, and the matter succeeded, so everyone thanked her. While the blue fish was swimming in the water, black fish came requesting friendship from the blue fish, but she refused and described them with ugliness and bad appearance. The black fish became sad because the blue fish’s words were very harsh.
The golden fish came to join her friends after finishing her mission of saving the fish trapped in the mud. Her scales were dirty, so her friends asked her: what happened? Why are your scales dirty? She said: I have helped a fish trapped to get out of the mud, so the friends said: how good you are a fish, do not worry you will return to your amazing beauty, as soon as the mud departs from you oh golden fish, and the fish began to praise her beauty and noble character.
Golden Scales: The blue fish felt jealousy from the admiration of the fish for the golden fish, and wished her scales were golden to obtain the admiration of all fish. While the blue fish was sitting crying, she heard a group of fish playing and saying: oh what a beautiful golden scales, the blue fish looked and found golden scales in a place close to her.
The blue fish said to herself: perhaps I become like the golden fish if I roll on those golden scales. The fish felt the length of the blue fish’s absence after she left them in the morning, so they feared and went to search for her, and they kept screaming: where are you oh blue fish?
The Golden Fish Helps the Blue Fish: The golden fish found the blue fish and said to her: what are you doing here in the golden patch? She replied and said: I want to be beautiful and golden in color like you. The golden fish said: but your blue scales are also beautiful. The blue fish replied and said: this is not true, you do not want me to be golden in color and beautiful like you.
While the two fish were talking, the blue fish’s scales began to fall, and she began to feel pain and cry, so her friends comforted her, and the golden fish told her about a skilled doctor, but he lives in a distant region. The golden fish requested from her friends to stay with the blue fish until she returns from the doctor with the medicine.
The Shark Fish Attempts to Deceive the Blue Fish: The blue fish felt sadness for her scales and requested from her friends to depart and leave her alone. She screamed in their face, so they departed the place and left her alone. There was a large shark fish living in the sea, and one day felt extreme hunger, so she went out to search for food.
The shark fish was standing from afar listening to the blue fish’s conversation, so she said to herself: I will go and tell the golden fish that I can cure her. The shark fish went to the blue fish and said to her: there is a stream of water close to my house, and this stream cures from all wounds.
The blue fish rejoiced and went with the shark fish and said: now I do not need the golden fish, who will praise all for what she will do of my cure. The blue fish went away with the shark fish until they reached the water stream, and there the shark fish attacked the blue fish attempting to eat her.
The Golden Fish Saves the Blue Fish: The golden fish returned with the medicine, but she did not find the blue fish, rather her friends told her of seeing the blue fish going away with the shark fish. She said: that is a deception from the shark fish until she can eat her.
The golden fish hurried, running towards the water stream, she and her friends, where the shark fish lived. As soon as they arrived, they found the shark fish attacking the blue fish, so they tried to save the blue fish, and the matter succeeded. The blue fish felt shame from her friends, especially from the golden fish, and presented an apology for her style and bad speech, and decided to live in love with the fish.
