Book Description
================
The Sea and Little Fishes is a short story by Terry Pratchett, written 
in 1998. It is set in his Discworld universe, and features Lancre witches 
Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. It was originally published in a sampler 
alongside a story called "The Wood Boy" by Raymond E. Feist, and later 
in a collection called Legends.

The story established a basis for various elements of the novel A Hat 
Full of Sky, but is not required to understand that novel.

A coalition of witches, led by self-appointed organiser Lettice Earwig 
asks Granny Weatherwax not to participate in the annual Lancre Witch 
Trials, on account of her always winning. She agrees, becoming disconcertingly 
nice, apparently owing to the realisation that, while she always does 
the right thing, few people actually like her. Her niceness, however, 
throws people completely off-balance, proving that people expect Granny 
Weatherwax to be Granny Weatherwax.

The title has confused people; Pratchett has since explained that Granny 
is the sea, and the other witches are the fishes (at one point Nanny 
says that calling Granny full of pride is like calling the sea full 
of water; water is what the sea is).

It is based on the "ancient phrase" The big sea does not care which 
way the little fishes swim, which Pratchett made up at some point before 
the story, and finally used in Night Watch.
