When I was in third grade, I won three goldfish from a carnival. I begged my parents to buy me a tank, and with enough annoyance, my parents bought me a small tank. Soon, I would learn how easily carnival fish die; almost like they were trying to die. One died of starvation as its food got stolen, and the other of karma. The last fish saw its future in the Olympics and jumped an astonishing three feet from the tank I was cleaning to the toilet which later was flushed. I hope its act got a gold medal.
