Komba's Fish Pond Saa Maurice Sindondoeh Jumu

In an effort to contribute to his family meals, Komba usually goes out fishing. His mother is quite aware of his contributions as she prepares the meals. One day he catches a big fish, which almost drags him into the river, but he digs his feet deep into the mud to resist the pull. It's about to get dark, so he ties his line to a tree to limit the movement of the fish. The next morning he is thrilled to find the fish still trapped. Refreshed and well prepared, he begins again the process of pulling thefish out of the river. It's a running battle for quite sometime but then with all his might, he lifts it out of the river into the stagnant pool, which he transforms into a fish pond; since then, the pond continues to serve as a source of fish stock for the entire community.
