The Magical Lake Where Fairies Taught Fish to Swim

In a distant magical forest, there was a lake whose waters sparkled like precious gems in the sunlight. This lake was special — in its depths lived little fish that had never learned to swim. They were friendly and cheerful, but they always dreamed of swimming like the other fish in other waters.

The youngest of the fairies, Linetta, heard about the fish's dream and decided to help them. She had always loved water and often played by the lake, observing the life of the underwater creatures. "If the fish want to swim, I can help them!" she said to herself, fluttering her tiny wings.

Linetta approached the lake and spoke to the fish with a smile: — My dear friends, I will help you learn to swim! But remember, it will take some patience and a lot of effort.

The fish became worried. They had never tried swimming before and didn't know where to begin. Linetta understood their fear and decided to use her magic to make the learning process more fun and easier. She created circles on the water that helped the fish stay afloat and move confidently.

First, Linetta taught the fish to swim in small circular movements, gradually increasing the size of the circles. Then, she showed them how to maneuver skillfully among the water plants and stones at the bottom of the lake. The fish watched her movements with delight and tried to imitate them.

After a little while, the fish became confident swimmers. They swam through the lake, happily trying new tricks that Linetta showed them. The fairy even created magical bubbles that floated into the air, giving the little fish fun soap bubbles on the water's surface. It was so much fun that all the fish started laughing and rejoicing.

But then, a little fish named Finni became frightened when he saw the depth of the lake. He was afraid to swim farther than a few steps from the shore.

— Don’t worry, Finni, — said Linetta. — I’m always here to help you. You can do it!

Linetta gently guided the little fish through the deepest parts of the lake, helping him feel confident. Finni realized that his fear wasn’t as strong as he thought, and soon he was swimming fearlessly, even in the depths.

Soon, all the fish were expert swimmers. They swam with Linetta through the lake, exploring every corner of it. The lake became even more beautiful, and the fish were happy. Linetta rejoiced in seeing how her friends had become brave and confident.

In the evening, as the sun set behind the horizon, the fairy looked at the lake and said: — The most important thing is not to be afraid to try new things, because the support of friends and perseverance help overcome any difficulties.

The moral of the story: If you are afraid, don’t hesitate to ask for help from your friends. With their support, you can overcome any obstacle.
