Weit draußen im Meer lebte ein Fisch. Doch kein gewöhnlicher Fisch, nein. Er war der allerschönste Fisch im ganzen Ozean. Sein Schuppenkleid schillerte in allen Regenbogenfarben.

Eine Frau sollte ein sicherer Hafen für einen Mann sein.

Man wird nicht zum Helden, indem man mit dem Schwert Butterblumen auf dem Feld köpft. In der Regel haben diejenigen, die irgendwann zu Legenden werden,
