Reread what the goldfish tells Sergei in paragraph 22. What lesson is this archetypal wise character trying to convey? How does this lesson reveal a theme of the story?

In paragraph 22, the goldfish shows a lesson on how human beings close their eyes to simple messages by interpreting them as they suit and as they really are. This reveals one of the themes in history, which is that our actions have a price and why we must think before acting.

Explanation:

Paragraph 22 of  “What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?” presents the following lines: “He said,” says the fish, interrupting, “exactly what he was doing. But you didn’t get it. Honestly, your Hebrew, it’s terrible.”

These lines are spoken after Sergei accidentally kills Yonatan. This was because Sergei thought Yonatan wanted to catch the magic fish.

Yonatan had said what he wanted to do, which was not to catch the fish, but Sergei didn't understand Yonatan well and ended up interpreting the whole situation in a completely wrong way, hitting Yonatan hard on the head.

Paragraph 22 shows the fish saying that Sergei interpreted everything wrong and acted impulsively. With this, he shows us how we must understand the whole situation before acting, as our actions can have destructive results.
