Story Time: fish

There is currently a fish, swimming peacefully on it's own. It is moving with the current, in synch with it, making this a very easy swim for the fish. It enjoys going in the direction that it is. One day the current shifts backwards, and the fish finds that it is harder and harder to keep swimming the same way. It first tries different techniques, sea levels, everything it can think of to make swimming that way easier. But eventually it can not keep going, and it just stops, the current thrashes the fish about. The fish can not eat or relax while being moved about, and must regain self control or die. It finds that it is impossible to move the way it had been for so long. The fish has a very hard time about moving around, but after a long, long while it finally adjusts to the new life direction. The fish is quite uncomfortable for a long time, but it gets better and easier to move in the new direction, and to deal with changing. The fish is now very good at it, because it was especially hard for the fish the first time.
