How to own a pet fish?
I wanted to own a pet fish. I asked my father to buy me one several times, but he always said he couldn’t afford it. He once warned, “If we buy you a pet fish, there won’t be enough money for dinner, then we’ll have to eat grass. Do you want to eat grass?” No, I did not want to eat grass. So I tried to catch my own pet fish in the river near our neighborhood, but my makeshift fishing rod never worked. So what’s the solution? Catch tadpoles. I would go to the little puddles near the rice paddies behind our house. There are tons of them. They are extremely easy to catch and they resembled fish. Well at least, for a couple of days, then they start growing legs. After that, you throw them away. Tip #3: How to avoid becoming a hunchback? There’s a popular superstition among the kids that if you have fallen from trees more than three times, you will grow up to be a hunchback. Unfortunately, I could replay in my head the many times I have fallen from trees; it was definitely more than three.
