The Cod and the Catfish

This is the story of the Cod fish. Years ago cod fish were placed in railcars, and shipped to the East coast. Shipped alone these fish would arrive with mushy skin, and bland flavor. The cod had a natural enemy, the catfish. So exporters started shipping catfish within the tanks. The catfish then chased the cod just as they would in their natural surroundings. When the cod arrived they we're cooked, and found to be fresh and flaky. Thus the catfish, kept the cod, on their toes. You could say there are catfish, and cod fish, in life. You could say that they exist to keep us moving, and make us aware. You could say we need the catfish. You could ask what is life is with out them. You could wonder who we become. You could ponder the creation of another life. You could do all these things, but first you have to define who you are. Would you rather chase or be chased?

Lesson #24: Whatever you do keep moving.

COD is the Mass state fish, cause they were plentiful here so why would east coast need to ship it.. also cod = saltwater catfish = fresh, some cats are slat but they are not the same and this story isn't true. cod are salted always have been ..
