The Intelligent Fish Lyrics

Three Fish The Intelligent Fish

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.
