The Golden Hook
In St. John’s Harbour, Newfoundland,
Aatma the cod is banished from his
school for wearing a golden hook.
This accessory holds significant
symbolic value to followers of
Newfinism, Aatma’s religion.
For the other fish in the harbour,
hooks are a symbol of danger.
Aatma’s classmates plead with
their teacher to make Aatma
remove his hook or leave school.
