One avatar of Vishnu is Matsya, a small fish. One day, Vishnu in the form of Matsya jumped into the hands of Manu, a sage, who was bathing in a river. Manu was about to throw Matsya back into the water, but the fish pleaded him not do so as he might get eaten by bigger fish. So Manu placed the fish in a bowl, and the fish grew. And grew. And grew. Finally, the fish grew so large that Manu had no option but to release it back into the water. But then the fish warned that in seven days there would be a deadly flood, but he told Manu not to worry as the fish would provide him a boat. However, Manu must fill the boat with various specimens of fish and plants and tie the boat to him (Matsya) while it flooded. Manu did exactly this, and thus restarted the human race.
