Amaterasu and the Carp


Carp was weary of swimming. He swam, day and night, with never a respite. So he swam to the surface, and looked up to the Goddess Amaterasu. "Please great Goddess, grant that I should never have to swim again, so long as I live !", he cried out. Amaterasu granted his wish. Carp found himself hauled up into a fisherman's net, headed for shore. Amaterasu leaned down from heaven, and whispered in his ear (or whatever hearing organ Carp have), 'Sorry, Sushi. But you did ask.'
