I think this is a joke. If it's not, a fish cannot drown in water.

Fish don't drown, for the same reason they don't get broken legs. "Drowning" is water in the lungs, which fish do not have.
It is possible for a fish to SUFFOCATE if it's not absorbing enough oxygen through its gills. But unless you're an expert on fish, I don't think you'd be able to tell whether that was happening, and in any event there really wouldn't be anything you could do about it. Unless you have a bunch of special equipment and a canister of oxygen gas, you're not going to be able to put more oxygen in the water. And of course, pulling the fish out of the water will just make it die faster. It would be like "helping" a choking victim by pushing him face-down into a full bathtub.

Edit: I wasn't sure. I read that fish can actually drown, when going through rough waters. Apparently, there are around 3000 (or 300) species of fish that can actually drown. So, if it's a joke, then it's not a very good one.

I don't understand what you mean: do you mean a pet fish, or a wild fish?
If it's a pet fish, you can take it out and put it in a seperate container of water for it to get back it's breath.
If it's a wild fish, I suggest you do not help it. It's harsh, but it's the way nature works. It's all about the cycle of life, and evolution. That dying fish could very well help to save another starving fish by being it's food. You will pretty much mess up the natural balance by interfering in nature.
And how are you sure it is drowning? Fish obviously live in water, and need water to live but sometimes the water is lacking in oxygen, especially if it is well populated. Water can also go in the wrong way, I read. But if you take it out if it is not drowning, it may die.
