Skizzle was a determined goldfish who lived alone after his two best friends were purchased by separate owners. He vowed to never be lonely again and planned to escape his fish bowl by leaping into a neighboring bowl with three other goldfish. Skizzle trained daily, swimming laps to build up speed. When the opportunity came, he leapt from his bowl aiming for the neighboring one, but missed and instead landed in a shark tank, where he was immediately eaten by two baby sharks.

Fish Bowl Assignment
It had been on this very day, the day he had been planning for his whole life, that
Skizzle had nothing on his mind but to never be alone again. Everyday Skizzle would
practice for a time like this. This took plenty of calculations on angles and velocity.
Skizzle wasn’t some ordinary goldfish. He was a determined goldfish that saw a new
opportunity to live a different life instead of the lonely and dwelling life he had lived.
There had been many other opportunities like this instance and today was the day it
would all change.
Skizzle once lived a life with his two best friends, Scally and Sco. Everyday,
Scally, Sco, and Skizzle laughed and played fishbowl games. Fish bowl games included
games such as, ring around the bowl, fish tag, and flap a fin. Ring around the bowl
involved each fish to swim as fast as they could around the bowl creating what looked
like an orange ring because of how fast they went. Fish tag was just like human tag
except they could only tag a tail. Flap a fin was their favorite game that they would play
at the end of each day before bed. While playing flap a fin, each fish must flap their fins
towards the middle of the bowl as they are circled close to the center. The first fish to
touch the glass of the bowl loses. This was a test to see who flapped the hardest. Skizzle
loved his friends and games that he saw and played since his first day in the bowl. One
day, Skizzle woke up and was alone with Scally and Sco nowhere to be found. Separate
owners had purchased them but Skizzle was left alone. From that day on Skizzle vowed

2. to escape his bowl and never bee lonely again. He didn’t know how but he was
determined to find out.
What Skizzle didn’t realize was that there had been other bowls of other fish
beside him all along. He was too blinded by his joyous times playing fishbowl games
with his best friends. Skizzle now had a plan to make a leap, a leap that he’d hoped would
change his life back to how it was.
Skizzle had been stronger than ever as he swam laps daily around his fish bowl.
The day had finally come when he saw a goldfish bowl beside of his with three goldfish
inside. Skizzle had his plan to make it into the other fishbowl with a 4-inch leap from
bowl to bowl. Skizzle prepared for nothing but success in making it in the bowl. He
planed to swim around the bowl as fast as he could until he had the right amount of
velocity to enter the bowl. While attempting his dreams of a new life, Skizzle went
around the bowl faster than ever. He swam so fast that he had created a ring like him and
his friends would play ring around the bowl. When the time came he would spin in a
spiral around the top of the bowl hoping to come out and land in the center of the
neighboring bowl. Once Skizzle had determined that he obtained enough speed, leaped
out of his bowl only to find out that he would miss the bowl completely by landing in a
shark tank a yard away. Once landing in the shark tank 2 baby sharks devoured poor
Skizzle. THE END.
