This is a folk story of Senegal. One big and proud fish who hates to live with small fishe in a small river. These small fishes also dislike the big, egotistic fish. Therefore, they suggested that the big fish swim to the ocean and live with the other big one. The big fish think that it is exactly a good idea and he should find a more specious place for himself.
Finally, he entered the ocean. Unluckly, he felt scared and shuddered while he saw a lot of big fishes in the ocean. Since these fishes are more larger than him over hundreds and thousands of times. He had no choice but to get back to his small river, and told these fishes that he will not be proud no longer.
There is one old saying - a big fish in a little pond get into the ocean, it will become a small one. It implys that we must be modest when we are under pride or success.
