boughtfromthe petstore.Eversince he arrivedat hisnew home he was alwaystreateddifferentlyfrom
all of the otherfish.While the otherfishwere freetohangout andplay withthe otherfish,Brandon
was leftall byhimself.
Aftera while he believedthatthere wasareasonwhyhe wasdifferentfromall of the others-
that there wassomethingwrongwithhim.He spentall of histime thinkingaboutwhyhe wasdifferent,
and justwishingthathe wasbrave enoughto jointhe others.

playingonce again.He gatheredall of the determinationthathe couldand decidedtotake a leap.He
jumpedoutof hisbowl and intotheirs.Andassoonas he didthe otherfishlookedathimand said“it
