When the father walked home from work, the sun was just going down in the far horizon and he remembered what he had been taught at school. Stupidity without limits Once upon a time, there was an extinct volcano ten thousand miles below the sea. The outside walls of the volcano were as precipitous as an abyss. No other world existed for the animals, seashells, sea stars, snails and crabs, living in the crater valley. A deep-sea anglerfish gave them light. As this fish swam very high above them, they could only see his light but couldn’t observe him. Therefore, they thought him to be their sun. Each time they saw the light, they fell to their knees to praise their sun god. When the deep-sea anglerfish was tired he disappeared in a grotto high up near one of the peaks of the volcano walls. One day, a very curious crab wanted to know where their sun god disappeared, so it followed the light till his grotto. When the crab had entered the refuge of the big fish, it first was shocked and frightened, but then, it looked at the big animal a bit closer and noticed that it was just a simple fish. Very quietly, it moved away in order not to wake the fish and being noticed. Then back in the valley, it told its companions about what it had observed. The other animals were very upset. “Their god! A simple fish?” So they went up to the grotto to see it with their own eyes. When they had reached the place and convinced themselves of their sun god really only being a fish, they got very angry and wanted to kill it saying that they didn’t need a fish as their sun god. Fortunately, there was another exit to the grotto and the fish could escape. The seashells, sea stars, snails and crabs were loudly celebrating their victory over the big fish but from that day on, it was very dark in the valley. The children wondered whether people could be as stupid as those deep sea animals before they fell asleep. Continue with part 18!
