Reading Notes: The Fish Who Helped Saint Gudwall, Part B

Saints: The Fish Who Helped Saint Gudwall
By: Abbie Farwell Brown (1900)

This story, like many others, has a happy ending, which is why I was so drawn to it. The story also involves marine life, and who doesn't love animals, right?

This story was about a Saint, named Gudwall and his friend who went unnamed. These two found themselves in some trouble as the sea water began to rise and rise and eventually forced them to travel to higher grounds.

Troubled and worried, they didn't know where to turn and weren't sure if they were going to be able to stay on their tiny island for the coming summer and winter months.

As they watched the water rise higher and higher, Saint Gudwall's friend noticed a brown patch in the water. Interested and confused, Saint Gudwall soon realized that the fish in the sea were helping to build a sand bar to form a barrier between them and the crashing waves.

The fish helped save Saint Gudwall and his friend, allowing them to stay and live on the island.
