Oregano the Fish

Once upon a time there was a little fish named Oregano. Oregano was small for her age, but what she lacks in size, she made up for in speed. One day, a large fish moved into the... pond, named Raphael. He was a bully to all of the other fish, including Oregano, but she had a plan to get back at him. Raphael prided himself on his strength, so Oregano knew challenging his strength would goad him into competition immediately. Of course, Raphael welcomed the challenge, assuming victory was a certainty. So, due to his hubris, he added stakes onto the competition: the winner would be named "Best Fish in the Pond", and the loser would be excommunicated from the pond. (yeah yeah that's kind of ridiculous, I'm aware.)

The day of competition was finally upon us, and the challenge was to move the most rocks within the time period. When the race began, Raphael immediately went to work grabbing rocks with his... fins(?) and throwing them in Oregano's direction to intimidate her. But, this didn't phase her, and she went to work herself, by swimming in a circle at a growing rate. Raphael stopped and gawked at Oregano, finding her actions ridiculous. Until... He realized what was going on. Oregano was fast... really fast... so fast, she created a cyclone in the water, throwing rocks every way, blowing Raphael's lead away in mere seconds. "No!" cried Raphael, as he tried to hold on to the rocks he had left, but in his desperate attempt, he was sucked into the cyclone himself, and launched into the sky.

Seeing as the other competitor was... well, probably dead, Oregano was declared the winner! And no more of her fish friends had to worry about being bullied by Raphael. As for his fate, a wandering fisherwoman happened to show up at the pond later than usual. "Rats!" she thought. "I'm too late to get any fishing done! It's already dark!" But then, a large plop landed in her fishing bucket. It was the recently defeated, and very large Raphael. The fisherwoman smiled, looked up at the sky, and proclaimed loudly that fish was on the menu for dinner.

The end.
