The Two Fishes

On the path of a village 
            A fish was crying loudly;
Behind it another lay 
            On the land deadly.
Many were crossing them
            But nobody heard,
Then its voice   
            Went to a kind shepherd.
Very  politely he asked 
            And knew the reason .
The reason was nothing 
            But the cruel season.
The cruel summer season
            Had dried the big pond.
In quest of water ,
            The two fishes reached the ground.
Not a drop of water was found
            Due to lack of rain,
So all their labour
            Was in vain.
One of the two fishes
            Was breathing the last;
He took the both
            And ran very fast.
He put them into a tank
            Conserving water for his cattle.
After that the fishes started 
            To dance and whistle
