It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and I woke up extra early. Sunny,
my dog, and I were anxious to go on our walk. We went to the park where
there was a very deep pond full of fish.
Sunny and I sat on the bridge enjoying the day. I looked down in the
water and saw a shiny colored goldfish, six inches long. The fish was trapped,
yes, I say trapped in a bread wrapper!
What should I do? I quickly decided to save the fish. I jumped in the
water risking my own life to rescue that fish. I pulled off the bread wrapper,
and the fish swam away free. But my dog, Sunny, thought I was drowning.
Sunny dived in the pond to save me, but she got a mouthful of water and
started choking.
I had to save Sunny, and I did. What a day, what an amazing day. I saved
Sunny and the fish.
Frank is going to send me a drawing, and I'll put it here.
