Rh When the first bird called to its mate they began to fish, and ceased not until the sun sank into the sea at even.

Then said an old man, "What shall be done that our women may leave this fishing and do their work once more? I, even I, will send these fish away that they be no longer in our midst."

Therefore he went to the flying fish who were yet in the swamps, and said to them, "Go ye, and dwell in the midst of the sea. Only in your seasons shall ye be caught. If any be offended because he hath no fish, be not caught. Only if all share alike shall ye come into their nets. If any search in vain for his food in the morning because the mouse hath eaten it, come ye not nigh unto him. He shall search and shall not find."

Then he took a handful of broken coral from the ground and cast it upon the flying fish and drove them forth into the midst of the sea. And if thou wilt look at the head of a flying fish thou wilt see the marks of the coral which the old man cast at them when he sent them far from the land into the heart of the sea.
