Two Tribes

There  lived  two  tribes  on  the  banks  of  a  river.  The  tribe  that  lived  upstream  caught  fish  by  stretching  their  nets  across  the  river.  They  beat  the  water  with  long  sticks  to  make  the  fish  swim  into  their  nets.  This  made  the  water  muddy.  Due  to  this,  the  tribe  that  lived  downstream  became  angry.  They  said  to  the  downstream  tribe,  how  can  we  live  when  you  always  making  our  drinking  water  so  dirty?  You  must  stop  catching  fish.  The  upstream  tribe  also  became  angry  and  replied  we  will  not  stop  catching  fish.  None  of  the  tribes  listened,  and  hence  they  went  for  a  war.  In  the  war,  all  the  people  of  both  the  tribes  were  killed.  As  a  result,  the  river  became  calm  again  and  the  fish  were  left  in  peace.
