Gundu Fish and Kutti Fish

Author: Hemalatha Kanagalingam

Illustrator: R. Surendran

Translator: Alisha Berger

Gundu Fish and Kutti Fish were minding their own business,

when suddenly...

...they were caught!

Kutti Fish slipped out of the net,

but Gundu Fish was still stuck.

Kutti Fish bit the net with her small teeth.

Gundu Fish bit the net with her big teeth.

But, it didn’t snap the net.

Kutti Fish went in search of help.

“Can you help my friend?” she asked the sea turtle.

“I’m sorry, Kutti Fish, but I cannot

swim quickly enough to help your friend,” the sea turtle said.

“Can you help my friend?” she asked the whale.

“I’m sorry, Kutti Fish,

but my teeth are not sharp enough,” the whale said.

“Little swordfish, can you help my friend?” Kutti Fish

asked, feeling desperate.

“My mother can help, Kutti Fish!" little swordfish said.

Khach Khach Khach!

Little swordfish and her mother helped Gundu Fish escape.

Gundu Fish was free!

Gundu Fish, Kutti Fish, little swordfish and her mother

swim off to play!
