There was a panic call from Subbu.
"Sir all fishes have swam into the neighboring pond."
"How come ? I asked"
He had secured the pond with an overflow drain pipe. We had brought an extra cement pipe earlier which came handy for this purpose. 2 Days back he had kept that in place so that excess water from pond will pass through this pipe and go out. He had been careful to cover the mouth of the pipe with mesh.
It seems there was a gap created below the pipe (erosion of soil) due to yesterday heavy rain, through which the siblings have escaped.
"We saw around 50 fishes outside on the gutter. We put back them. I don't know how many have escaped already. We now need to monitor that pond also" I asked swami (Kandan) to keep an eye on that pond" was Subbu's answer.
" I said forget it. Clever fishes deserve it. And the birds too".
" How big is the fishes? "
"Very small sir, size of little finger, but one thing. only one variety of fishes alone escaped. The catla fishes did not. that means this variety which escaped must be adventurous"
I said "Go fishing with a rod like an English man on the other pond, whenever you screw your happiness"
We laughed, this is a learning exercise.
