The Great Book of Nature - THE CUTTLE FISH
Episode Summary:
The bear summons all the animals to tell them a story about a
cuttlefish. Female Doctor Cuttlefish, the cousin of a squid, lives in a
village on the sea floor, treating all the fish that need help, asking
nothing in return. One day, she heals a small sprat that has been
attacked by a catfish and the patient’s mother gives her a mirror. The
catfish has also been injured and he sends his crony to the doctor’s
office with a magnificent gift in exchange for a miracle medicine.
Flattered by so many gifts, the Cuttlefish starts to offer her services
only in return for precious gifts and, in so doing, falls into the trap
of the catfish, which locks her up. In actuality, the catfish wants to
eat the cuttlefish and steal her medicines so that all the fish that
need medical treatment will have to pay him. Fortunately, the fish
community comes to the rescue, and the Cuttlefish then realizes that
having lots of good friends is worth much more than any gift, no matter
how precious it may be.
