Fish falling from the sky, can you imagine this? That is a gluttony of thought as I feel, if i was hungry i would just go outside and catch some fish with a bucket. One reason though, would maybe be if we experienced a Tsunami, the strong wind would travel over the water, pick up flightless fish and carry them up a for a few miles.
In areas that suffer from poverty and drought, this could be carried out as a metaphor whereby if it suddenly rains, these dry places would be washed with rain and the rain could be seen as the fish falling from the sky as it would be a signal of food (rain feeding their crops resulting in more food for them) if this makes sense.
In another metaphorical meaning, as the saying goes: Instead of giving someone fish to eat, its better if you give him a rod so that they can get more fish which will sustain them for longer periods of time.
It could also be seen as a metaphor for money, blessings falling from the sky, as you feel that you can never go hungry again. Blessings are associated with God and He is known to be in the sky.
Peace.
