Once upon a time, in a small village, a young man came from the city. On his back was a fish tank, and inside was a single golden "mechanical goldfish."

"With this goldfish, the water will be clean, the lights will turn on, and the ledgers will be written for you."

The villagers were overjoyed, and they asked the young man to lay out water channels and welcome the goldfish.

Thanks to the mechanical goldfish, the village became very convenient. The water was clear, the crops grew well, and life became prosperous.

Before long, the surrounding villages began to adopt mechanical goldfish as well. However, they improved the goldfish, evolved the water channels, and made things increasingly convenient.

"Our goldfish even predicts the future."

By the time such voices were heard, the village remained as it was at the start. The pipes were rusted, the water channels had become complex, and no one understood the whole system.

"Where do these water channels lead?"

When someone asked, the elders said:

"Only those from the old days know about the old days. If you touch it, it will break."

Meanwhile, the surrounding villages were producing cheap, delicious crops in abundance with their new goldfish and water channels.

The village, stuck with its old system, had to sell its crops cheaply and gradually became poorer.

The troubled villagers went to the city to ask an authority on mechanical goldfish what they should do.

"Get a new mechanical goldfish!"

It was decided that they would buy a new mechanical goldfish.

Someone in the village who was watching muttered to themselves.

"It's not just the goldfish; if we don't update the waterways and the way the village operates, it's meaningless..."

Now, no one knows what became of that village.

And they lived happily ever after.
