Fish

For two weeks Maya practiced and extra 20 minutes a day on her sight reading to get the prize of two fish. For years she has had a little fish tank that Jeff had bought her sitting empty in the closet and she wanted to get set up and fill it with fish. So she did her practicing, we went to the pet store, got her two fish and a snail but unfortunately the fish both died later that night. Poor Maya practiced her little fingers off for two weeks and all she has to show for it is a lousy snail tank. There is an inherent risk when it comes to the living as tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us. Fortunately however when it comes to fish there is a 15 day guarantee so if they go belly up within that time frame you can get replacements at no cost. Maya learned that life is fleeting and also that Saint Paul tap water is not sufficient to support aquatic life.
