| I have a goldfish. |
| He swims around in his bowl all day. |
| He looks bored. |
| I look inside the bowl and watch him. |
| His mouth always moves. |
| He looks like he is talking. |
| I imagine what my goldfish would say if he really could talk. |
| I think he would say: “Hey, I’m bored in this little bowl. |
| Why don’t you get me a bigger tank with more fish in it? |
| I would like to have some friends to swim around with”. |
| I went out and bought a bigger tank for my goldfish. |
| I put some plants at the bottom of the tank, |
| and I got a miniature deep-sea diver to put at the bottom of the tank. |
| I looked into the tank and imagined what my goldfish was saying. |
| He seemed to be saying: |
| “This is a nice tank. |
| It’s roomy in here, and you decorated it well, |
| but I still don’t have any friends to swim with”. |
| I went to the pet store and bought three more goldfish. |
| I put them into the tank. |
| All of the goldfish seemed to look at each other. |
| They swam near each other and seemed to be playing games. |
| I knew which one was my goldfish because he has a black spot on his fin. |
| I looked at him, and imagined that he was talking again. |
| He said: “This is great! I have a big new home and friends to swim with. |
| These are nice goldfish that you brought home for me; thank you”. |
| Goldfish can’t really talk. I know that. |
| I just like to pretend that my goldfish talks. |
| He seems very happy now with his nice new home, and his new friends. |
| I don’t think goldfish can smile either, |
| but it looks like my goldfish has a smile on his face. |
