The Salmon, that strong and precious fish swimming along the bottom. It will follow the Tana River through the earth if that is the course to follow. Once again, it swims the long way to reach the source, turns black and stops eating. Once again, it turns back to where it came from, to the great ocean where salmon abound. Once again, it glistens in the water when it returns to its own seas. There it will find herring to feed on, grow fat again, and again look like its old self.
