Once upon a time, deep down a sea lived a small fish in a small patch of underwater shrubs of purple and brown color.
The fish used to feed on sea weeds and plants.
One day, a big fish who had established her dominance on a big area underwater came to the small fish and said:
‘I am Queen Kolizafin. I own the vast territory here, which is more than 5 Kms in radius. Do bend to my authority and vacate this place. This place is mine. Go away from here.’
To this, the small fish said: ‘But I have been here since last so many years. Why do I vacate?’
The Big fish replied :’Nobody dares challenge my authority here. Even turtles and starfishes have vacated their places. Do vacate or I can get you killed.’
The small fish said :’Please do not do so. I have been in this place for so long. Where will I go? Please give me a chance to be a friend of yours. If need be, I can help you in some or other work.’
‘Aha, how can such a small creature help Queen Kolizafin. And how can you become my friend. Stop day dreaming. However, Queen Kolizafin is not as bad as you think. I give you 2 days to find another place and leave this place.’
‘Ok, queen.’
Next day, in the afternoon time, Queen Kolizafin was taking a round of her territory. She was done halfway when she saw a bright flash of light. A big octopus was heading towards her at a menacing speed.
‘Oh No, time to flee!’
Queen Kolizafin started swimming as fast as she can.
However, the octopus was closing by.
‘Oh, please god save me’
Suddenly, a never before seen Net like formation came in front of her, caught her and drew her towards a hole on a weed surface beneath.
She was now out of the sight of the octopus.
The octopus wondered as to where his prey had gone. After searching here and there for some time, he went away.
Queen Kolizafin also wondered if octopus or some other creature had caught her.
‘Oh, is it my end?’
Suddenly, the net formation disappeared and in place of that, many small fishes appeared.
Among those fishes was the one who had met her the previous day.
‘You saved me?’
‘Yes queen, we knew that you are in danger. So we 40 fishes joined our hands and made this formation to save you from the octopus.’
‘Oh, my dear.’
She hugged the small fish and said ‘I was so wrong, that I thought of you as nothing. You helped me in a way even friends won’t. From today I am not a queen and we all will be friends.’
From that day onwards, both the big fish and the small fish were good friends.

Love that story.
You never should under estimate some one based off side or looks. You would be surprised if what someone can do. Also be careful how you treat a person because that could be the very one that will have your back one day.
As the cliche goes, don't judge the book by its own cover we cannot know what they can do to for us in times of trouble like for example in the story. The big fish never imagine that the little fish can give a helping hand to save her from her total own destruction if the octopus harm her but through with goodness of heart of little fish, he save her life. The big fish came to realize how stupid she was, how been blided by her selfishness to judge the little fish and make him go away in a place he had been living for so many years. I think the lesson of this story is that, we should not judge someone the way they looks, respect someone's individuality because all of us has its own capabilities to stand in our own principles, and lost but not the least, you must be humble, you should stay your feet on the ground inspite of your achievements in life.
Really your story is beautiful for the readers and its language is simple and its middle is mysterious and end is didactic. I have many stories of such types wonderfully written by the fellow blog writer for the readers.
The Holy Quran says about good deeds as in these words;;
Whoever brings a good deed (Islamic Monotheism and deeds of obedience to Allah and His Messenger SAW) shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil deed (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, and deeds of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger SAW) shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged. (Al-Anaam, Chapter 6, Verse 160)
And the likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls, is as a garden, high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.
(Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Verse 265)
For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord; Who establish regular prayers and spend (freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance: Such in truth are the believers: they have grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and generous sustenance:
(Al-Anfal, Chapter 8, Verse 2 and 3 and 4)
