Fishy Tale

We have a fish tank again. Our very first fish many years ago, was a blue fighter fish in a glass bowl. It was christened Teddy for some reason. I spent many lonely hours talking to Teddy but I think Teddy got bored to death. Many other fishes followed ...but none of them survived for some reason or the other. One lot died because of my ignorance...I generously sprayed a mosquito repellent around the house only to later read on the can, a caveat: "Do not spray near fishes" !!!

Anyways in the new lot we have 12 fishes. Yesterday when we brought them home for the first time, two of them jumped out of the container, in protest, I think, against the change of residence. Luckily we have 12 for now. I hope they are there with me for a long time. Though if my children had a say in the matter they would have said buy a dog.
