The largest fish realized that they were      and said they had to find a way to leave there as fast as possible. The second largest fish        with his elder brother, but the youngest one did not. He said that there was much       for their activities, so he would not worry at all and still swam around     . At last, the largest fish returned to the pond by         over the lowest part of the boat. The second         fish also succeeded in joining his older brother in the other side of water. But the youngest one didn't follow them and still swam joyfully.

Two hours later, when the        rose up, the water in the small shallow corner dried up. The fish who did not try to return to the sea died of lack(缺乏)of water.
