If a net fell into a rushing river—what can the waters of the pools do?’” (Moed Katan 25b), and likewise: “Even in the eyes of a carp, a fish is counted, and the wolf of the waters is also worthy of a meal, even these small fish” (Sholem Aleichem, Flavors of Milk, p. 218), and likewise: “At that hour all the small fish opened their voices and began to roll and say…” (Agnon, Ir U’Melo’ah, p. 632).)
