Three fish had lived together in a pond for many years.
One evening the oldest fish overheard some men. "Look," said one. "This pond is full of fish.
Why have we never fished here before?" The men agreed to return the next day with their
fishing nets.

After the men left, the oldest fish turned to the others and said, "Did you hear that? There is
danger. We must leave our pond and find a new home."

The youngest fish laughed and said, "What? Leave this beautiful pond? I am happy here. I
shall not leave the pond." That evening the oldest fish left the pond. "What are you going to
do?" he asked his remaining friends.

"I don't know," the second fish replied. "I'll decide in the morning".

The next morning the second fish saw the fishermen in the distance "I'm going," he said.
“The oldest fish was right." Quickly, the second fish left the pond.

"Don't worry about me," said the youngest fish. "You'll see. I'll be safe."

Read the poem and answer the questions.

As a dead silence rains over the land
Slowly time runs, like an hourglass of sand
For the last dragon soars, sounding a cry
Soaring with it, the majestic fantasy, starting to die
No one knows who, when or even why
Why such a creature is alone, alone in the sky
Inside it with holds both light and dark
As swift as a cat, fierce as a shark.
