Features: There is a story: In the early 20th century at the Zanzibar fish market in Africa, someone discovered a half-moon butterflyfish with patterns on its tail fin that resembled ancient Arabic script. After many people examined it carefully, they deciphered that one side of the tail fin read: "LaillahaIllalah," meaning "There is no God but Allah"; the other side was "Shani-Allah," meaning "The warning of the Muslim God." This astonishing discovery immediately caused a sensation throughout Zanzibar, and wealthy people rushed to obtain this fish. As a result, this small fish, originally worth only 1 Rupee, was eventually sold for a high price of 10,000 Rupees. Another story: A writer who had traveled the world for over twenty years also found a fish in the deep sea whose skin was covered with writing. The fish could not be identified, but it was covered in Chinese characters. One side read: "War, hurricanes, disasters, and life"; the other side read: "Adventure, romance, curiosity, and friendship." This fish was not sold because the writer released it back into the sea. The Sea Fish Book is a fish swimming towards the deep sea.
