Christa Navy
The Lonely Fish
Once upon a time there were five fish in a fish bowl. One fish was considered a “fat” fish.
He was overweight and all he did was lay at the bottom of the bowl and steal everyone’s food as
it sprinkled down. The other fish were very active. They swam around all day and played tag.
They were very healthy and skinny fish. The healthy fish weren’t very nice to the fat fish. They
were at first and they even invited him to play with them, but to no avail. Fat fish was content
with being fat and lazy all day long. Then one day, their fish bowl was getting extremely dirty,
and so the owner, instead of just cleaning out the bowl, decides to buy a new bowl all together
with clean water, and he places it next to the dirty bowl. However, the owner walks away and
completely forgets to transfer the fish to the new bowl.
The days go on and the fish become miserable as they are swimming in their own filth,
suffocating. The clean bowl looks so inviting and delicious. So, the healthy fish come up with a
plan that they are all going to jump out of their dirty bowl and into the clean bowl. They know it
is a matter of life and death: if they stay in the dirty bowl they will die, but if they miss the jump
then they will die from being out of the water. They decide to go on this mission anyway. The
first fish jumps… and he lands in the water. The second fish jumps… and he lands in the water.
The third fish jumps… and he lands in the water. The fourth fish jumps…and he lands in the
water. They couldn’t hear the exhausted cries from the fat fish at the bottom of the bowl as he
cried, “Help! I’m too fat I’m not gonna make it!” Fat fish knew he was going to die, but he
decided to take the leap of faith anyway. He swam to the top of the bowl and jumped with all of
his might…
The End.
