The story started out in a lake with a lot of water lilies and fish. The fish had commonly met up and on this occasion, they were meeting to hear a story told by one of their own fish. The Story was about a King who ruled the lake. The fish was golden back, more gold than the rest of them were. The fish, being as gold as he was, was described as the "star of their sky". When the water got dark he was the one to light it up. One day, when it was right before a heatwave, there was no rain in the air. The lake began to shrink in size until it became a pool. There were so many fish in the pond that the birds could come and devour most of them. The King of the lake spoke to the Queen of Rain and King of Thunder and they heard his calling. King of Thunder commanded all of them to fire and the whole world shook. Lightning sparked throughout the air, heavy raindrops fell and the pool of water began to become a lake again. The King feared that the pond would dry up quickly after the storm so he prayed to the Queen of Rain and King of Thunder to do another downpour. They listened and let rain fall once again. The Queen and King came down to earth and let the King of the Lake know that the lake would never be dry again. The lake was filled and everyone lived happily ever after.
Author's Note: I went back and read this story again and loved how sweet it was. The plot was simple but it was very impactful and fun to read. I would love to create my own story from this tale.
