Then, taking the fish out of the waterpot, the King threw Him in a large well. But within a moment the fish developed to the length of three cubits.

Translation
Then, taking the fish out of the water pot, the King placed it in a large well. But the moment the fish was thrown in, it increased its size to three cubits.
Audañcanodake means “in well water.”
Personal Guidance
The King threw the fish in a large well — within a moment it was three cubits long. The next container also fails. Each upgrade is outgrown more quickly than the last.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I upgrading containers at the wrong scale — each just-barely-too-small?
- What would it take to jump scales rather than incrementally widen?
