Video narration
Picture a small fish clinging to a bigger fish, like someone who sticks close to the popular classmate because it brings advantages. The little fish seems to win: it gets food and protection by relying on the big one. Like that classmate, it depends on someone more influential for food and protection. But there's a catch. When the big fish is captured, the small one suffers too. The support it depended on has become a danger. In Chapter Five of *Sermao de Santo Antonio aos Peixes*, Padre Antonio Vieira uses the peixe pegador-the little fish attached to a larger one-as a symbol. It stands for people who seek benefits by taking advantage of the powerful. Remember the popular classmate: if you stay close only for what you can get, you share the risks as well as the rewards.
