Firenza
and Fria: A Fish Fable
Firenza and Fria were two fish friends who could
not have been more different. Firenza fulminated furiously at the flotsam
that found its way to their part of the ocean. She fastidiously
removed each floating piece, fearing it would foul her home. But she
couldn't stop the flow, furthering her frustration. Fria, however,
found the objects fascinating and festive. One day Fria said,
"Firenza, you must float off for four days; when you return I will have
fashioned something fabulous from the fragments." Firenza
thought it impossible, but she knew that arguing with Fria was futile, so she
flitted away. Fria examined each feature fully and she formed them
into fanciful figures, and with each creation Fria felt more
fulfilled. Four days passed in a flash; when Firenza returned she
was flabbergasted! "Fria! This is the finest ocean
floor I have ever seen!". From then on Firenza faithfully
brought her fortunate finds to Fria, who turned them into something fun and
fashionable.
