About Fish

About fish Something made me think of fish not those in tanks which life must be boring swimming around and around until tired and resting at the bottom wondering how to get out of this watery trap Do fishes think or is it all instinct? Say, two codfish meeting each other on the coast of Greenland: hi, their old mate hasn’t seen you around for a while? No, I met an escaped farm salmon, but it didn`t work out It got broody wanted to swim upstream being a bachelor, I took my farewell and escaped. Chased and being chased that’s life a proper fish instead takes its chances rather than living in a glass tank
