I shall have nothing to _4_ when that happens. I am now prepared to die of _5_.”The fishes in the pool heard what the crane said, and they said to each other in _6_， “Since he and we have a _7_ enemy, perhaps the wise crane can advise us what to do.” So they asked the crane how they may _8_ themselves. “There is only one _9_，” said the crane. “You must get to another pool _10_ it is too late.
