The Prized Possession
Feb 27, 2009
My son got a pet fish as a gift from his teacher on his pre school convocation. He named it rushy as it moved fast in the tank. After 6 months we had to move out of state and we gave the fish to one of our friends. A few weeks later it died and they informed us. When ever our son asked about his pet fish, we just said ‘it is doing fine’. Once we happened to visit our friends and my son asks them about his rushy. They said it grew bigger and bigger and did not fit the tank any more and they left it in the lake. My son is 8 years now and he still believes that his fish is going grow bigger and bigger and one day it will be the biggest fish in the whole wide world.
