原文

If my Fish Could Talk

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 that 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 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 big tank for my goldfish.

I put some plants on 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 bought 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.
