and lived in a cottage on the banks of a river. He was a sage respected by all. In fact, people hailed him as their ruler. But Manu continued to live a simple life. He befriended every — man and animal. He would pay attention to plants and trees, collecting seeds of any new one he came across.
One morning, he went to the river, had a dip, and scooped some water in his palms to offer it to the sun god. To his surprise, he found a tiny fish in the water he had scooped. He brought it home and put it in a bowl.
The next day, he found that the fish had grown bigger. He transferred it to a vessel. By the next day, the fish had grown too big for the vessel. Manu had to put it in a tank behind his cottage. But the tank too turned out to be too small for the fish the next day. Manu carried it to the sea. “You are strong enough to take care of yourself, friend,” said Manu. “Go. May God be with you.”
“I’ll ever remember your kindness. Should you ever need help, I’ll be there for you,” said the fish as it swam away.
A few months later, all of a sudden it started raining heavily. Water started rising. It reached the ankles first, then the knees and soon you could swim in it. But the rain showed no signs of stopping.
