Whale and the Snapper / Te Tohora Me Te Tamure Van Dam, Jo

A mother snapper warned her kids, Stay hidden in the weed, as whales and people fishing reckon you re a tasty feed. The baby fish, however, swam without a fear, not thinking for a moment that danger could be near. In this Kiwi version of Aesop's tale of The Lion and the Mouse, a young snapper strikes a bargain with the whale about to eat her.
