Fish

Oh Yang-Tse, beautiful Yang-Tse, river of my dream,
Teeming with perch and carp and trout and
Bream.

Oh Yang-Tse, beautiful Yang-Tse, river of my dream,
Teeming with perch and carp and trout and
Bream.

In the days when the earth was covered with water, Great Spirit sent Sun Prince to warm the world, to dry areas of land, so that the Red Children would have a place to live.

He told all his Fish Children to swim to the Land of the Sky Blue Waters, but to not look at Sun Prince in the sky.

One fish chief did not believe Great Spirit, so he stuck his head out of the water and looked upward. Sun Prince was so close to the earth that his brilliance blinded Fish Chief.

Great Spirit was saddened. The fish people needed their chief, but their chief had not heeded the warnings of Great Spirit.

So he said, »Go, Fish Chief, return to your people and guide them. I will restore to you your sight. But because you disregarded my warning, you – and all your people to follow forever – will wear the same blank stare that you wear now.«

Thus was the decree of Great Spirit.

-- Ojibwa legend of the walleye

The fish is a symbol of the early Christians, and of Jesus, called the Fisher King, and the Fisher of Men. It has been seen on antique urns, steps of Turkish basilicas, and Volkswagens.
The fish is also a symbol of the zodiac sign Pisces. This is a water sign which is seen as artistic and sensitive, sometimes emotional in the extreme.
Astrology and religion collide at last, and what do we learn? I'm not sure. I don't like seafood.

The word »fish« is misspelled due to the ignorance of most non native english speakers. It should be written »ghoti«.
