A fish and a matza

The golden fish with its rainbow-coloured tail looked out of the glass bowl and silently cursed its masters that they did not cover the bowl - again. He was nervous all the time when they did that, for that nasty black cat with the strange eyes was always around it, and his glance always semaphored the same blue-yellow-red message ’I will get you one day’. And he will, the goldfish thought morosely, even though I will make him sick, but he does not believe in it, only when he eats me and throws up all fours


The fish tried to think of a new tactic that it has not tried before, but it is not easy when one lives in a small and transparent bowl with very few tools to work with – and even that is getting small for it. Am I growing fat, he thought, or is it maturity? For its kind when mature grows vicious teeth and sharp fins and so capable of defending itself – but not just yet, the fish thought gloomily, it is a bit later still, and that damn cat is around again, I saw it around the table, why is it not going after the bird, that sits over there and only flies away a bit just to avoid the cat and laugh at him
 with this much effort he is wasting on me he could have gotten the flashy bird by now.

So, what about a bit of a camouflage? Let’s pretend that I have grown fins and teeth, maybe he gets the meaning and keeps those sharp claws away
 and so the fish got some props, and hoped that they would fool the cat. And it did indeed, the cat shrunk away from the strange creature in the bowl, it is not dangerous he thought but then what it is? Funny? Comical? How could it carry that huge fin and still swim? Anyway, how could it swim at all, the cat thought, not at all enjoying the idea of putting its paws into the cold water, and suddenly not even interested about the deformed creature either, with its strangely coloured fluke and the huge fin on its back
 doesn’t even look edible, he thought, maybe I should really go for that annoying bird in the next room, to measure my fangs and claws with its beak and talons


And let the fish swim around in that bowl until it grows out of it, after all it was not destroyed when it could have been


And the bird is now ready and awaits the cat






A hal és a matza

A szivĂĄrvĂĄnyszĂ­n farkĂș aranyhal kinĂ©zett az ĂŒveggömbbƑl, Ă©s csendben ĂĄtkozĂłdva emlegette fel azt, aki mĂĄr megint nem takarta le az akvĂĄriumĂĄt. Mindig ideges volt, amikor ez törtĂ©nt, mert az a ronda, fekete macsek, a furcsa szĂ­nƱ szemeivel mindig ott ĂłlĂĄlkodott a közelĂ©ben, Ă©s a pillantĂĄsĂĄban mindig ugyanaz a kĂ©k-sĂĄrga-piros ĂŒzenet villogott ’egyszer Ășgyis elkaplak’. És el is fog, a fene egye meg, gondolta az aranyhal mĂ©rgesen, hiĂĄba lesz tƑlem beteg, nem hiszi el, csak akkor ha megesz Ă©s feldobja a talpĂĄt tƑlem


A hal prĂłbĂĄlt Ășjabb Ă©s Ășjabb taktikĂĄkat kitalĂĄlni, de ez nem tĂșl egyszerƱ, ha valaki egy picike, ĂĄtlĂĄtszĂł ĂŒveggömbben lakik, ahol igen kevĂ©s eszköz ĂĄll rendelkezĂ©sĂ©re – Ă©s rĂĄadĂĄsul mĂ©g azt is kezdi kinƑni. Mivel a hal olyan fajta, hogy ha megnƑ veszĂ©lyes tƱfogakat növeszt Ă©s borotvaĂ©les uszonyokat, amikkel mĂĄr kĂ©pes lenne megvĂ©deni magĂĄt – de mĂ©g sajnos nem, gondolta a hal kesernyĂ©sen, ez mĂ©g odĂ©bb van, Ă©s az az ĂĄtkozott macska megint itt ĂłlĂĄlkodik, lĂĄttam most is az asztal mellet, mi a fenéért nem megy mĂĄr a madĂĄr utĂĄn egyszer, ami ott ĂŒl mindig Ă©s csak annyi idƑre rebben fel, hogy a macska ne tudja elkapni, Ă©s csak kineveti azt – a fenĂ©be is annyi energiĂĄval, amit rĂĄm fordĂ­tott, mĂĄr rĂ©g elkaphatta volna.

Na, de akkor mi lenne ha megprĂłbĂĄlkoznĂ©k egy kis ĂĄlcĂĄzĂĄssal? TegyĂŒnk Ășgy, mintha cĂĄpauszonyom Ă©s fogaim nƑttek volna, talĂĄn megĂ©rti az ĂŒzenetet Ă©s nem nyĂșlkĂĄl ide azokkal a tƱhegyes karmokkal
 Ă©s valĂłban a macska elƑször elhĂșzĂłdott a furcsa teremtmĂ©nytƑl, ami ott Ășszott az ĂŒveggömbben, nem tƱnik veszĂ©lyesnek, gondolta, de mi a manĂł lehet ez? MulatsĂĄgos? Komikus? Hogy tudja ezt a hatalmas uszonyt hordani Ă©s mĂ©g Ășszni is? EgyĂĄltalĂĄn miĂ©rt Ășszik – gondolta a macska, Ă©s hirtelen egyĂĄltalĂĄn nem Ă©rezte, hogy bele akarnĂĄ dugni a mancsĂĄt a hideg vĂ­zbe, emellĂ© a furasĂĄgos teremtmĂ©ny mellé  nem is lĂĄtszik mĂĄr ehetƑnek gondolta a macska kĂ©nyeskedve, lehet, hogy tĂ©nyleg a madarat kellene vĂĄlasztanom, összemĂ©rni a fogakat a csƑrrel Ă©s a karmokat a karmaival


És hagyni a halat had ĂșszkĂĄljon a gömbben amĂ­g ki nem növi, ha mĂĄr nem lett elpusztĂ­tva kicsinek


És közben a madĂĄr felkĂ©szĂŒlt Ă©s vĂĄrja a macskĂĄt

"So, what about a bit of a camouflage? Let’s pretend that I have grown fins and teeth," and a lot of new citizens, what of course was not caused by "multis" (multi account users) from Hungary and Indonesia...

Crisis in RL makes Hungarians angry, I see. And sad. Thank godness there's a eWorld. It's a place when You can makes a propaganda empire;)

Quicksilver, I'm glad you did not let the dust get over the Legendarium and I realy like the way you wrote this fable. Please take the follows as a joke, 'cause that's what I intend to do, even it may seem a little "sharp":
- white is not a colour in the rainbow (even if it is a metaphora, white and black are not colours);
- the bird, I believe is an aquila that multiplies her volume by a very well known genetic method
- in fact, I've anticipated your fable this morning when I made my new character's picture

You have a nice way of twisting words in your own way.

Nice story... and an well deserved vote from me.

Nah, it is not such a good tale, I know...
The pictures are better in this case.

But when I write a story, I never let facts disturb me in the meaning.

funny but they will not learn and they lose their golds soon than they lose regions which produce golds... they know we are fighting to block but they can not believe that: great tactical actions good start without results?

Hen Cerbin I do not think that Hungarians make more multis than any other country in eWorld.

Every time you now how to loose with grace. You, as a country, are so noble and misunderstood

It’s your destiny, nobody loves you, and your values are better then other values. Maybe, just maybe, you are in to a fish tank and you think in a box.

I didn't say that it's "such a good tale"; I said that I like the way you wrote it. Of course, because the facts haven't disturbed you to give that meaning to the tale.

Tramas: The picture was first. Iluvatar made one (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/matzaaa-756799/1/20), which I have changed a bit, and the result is here - and the tale came after it.

Cool! Luvatar a real artist. I wonder whether he knows that our national animal is the turul, or in nowadays a dog (puli)? But in this game, I like goldfish. Many many growing goldfish.

What is the different between the U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Object) and the "goldfish with Hungarian flag colored flipper"
- The U.F.O. has been seen

pyroelectricity: matza is Romanian slang for cat.

Tramas, pls do not mention puli, it is another Romanian word (if inflected), and we definitely do not want to use it!
