Fish Trapped in a Dry Rut [EPUB ebook] 

This book is part of the Chinese Classic Traditional Story Anime Series. Based on a classic Chinese idiom story behind "A Fish Trapped in a Dry Rut", this book tells the tale of Chuang Tzu, who saw a small fish trapped in a dry rut on the road. The fish pleaded with Chuang Tzu to fetch some water to save its life. Chuang Tzu agreed to go to the South and bring water from the Xijiang River. However, the fish responded, "If you do that, when you return, you’ll find me at a dried fish market". This idiom story serves as a metaphor for individuals or situations in urgent need of help and highlights the urgency of providing assistance without delay, as delay can lead to missed opportunities.
