On the edge of a peaceful fjord in Norway, there is an ancient legend. According to the legend, a mysterious creature lives in the fjord. It is the guardian of the fjord. This guardian is huge in size, with skin as smooth as that of a whale, and eyes as lively as those of an elf. It guards this fjord and also the fishermen who make a living by fishing here.
The local fishermen have known about the existence of this guardian for generations. They know that although this guardian is mysterious, it is very friendly. It has always been secretly guarding the ecological balance of the fjord, ensuring that there are enough fish stocks for the fishermen to catch. And the fishermen also respect this guardian very much. They never over - fish and always follow the ancient tradition of taking only what they need.
One day, Tom, a young fisherman, went fishing at sea with his father. It was a sunny morning, and the water surface of the fjord was glittering. Tom excitedly cast the fishing net, while his father guided him at the side. Just when they were pulling in the net, they found that there were a lot more fish in the net than usual. Tom's eyes widened in surprise, but his father just smiled and looked into the depths of the fjord and said, "It's the guardian taking care of us." Tom curiously asked his father about the story of the guardian, and his father told it in detail. As Tom listened, his heart was filled with respect for this mysterious guardian.
As days passed by, Tom became more and more eager to see the guardian. Finally, one evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the fjord, the guardian surfaced. Its huge body made small waves on the water surface, but its eyes were very gentle. Tom was both nervous and excited, and his father smiled and greeted the guardian. The guardian seemed to be able to understand their words and gently wagged its tail as if in response. Tom carefully stretched out his hand and touched the smooth skin of the guardian. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented warmth and strength.
Since then, Tom has been more determined to live in harmony with the guardian like his father and other fishermen. Whenever new fishermen come to the fjord, Tom will tell them the story of the guardian. And the guardian also continues to guard the fjord and the fishermen as always. When a storm is about to come, the guardian will make a low - pitched sound to warn the fishermen to return to the port quickly. The fishermen will also take better care of the fjord environment at ordinary times. They protect this beautiful homeland together, just like a big family. As time goes by, this fjord has always been full of vitality and harmony, and the story of the guardian and the fishermen also keeps spreading on this land.
