Ashley Morgan 4/2/14/ Creative Writing Assignment Loud noises, carnival rides, greasy foods, and bright lights come through a small town in West Virginia once a year at the small time during August. Children are crying to their parents to allow them to play and ride every game there. A small boy the age of 5 was begging his mother to let him play every game; however, she told him that he would be allowed to choose one game right before they left. The boy passed by games such as balloon popping, using a water gun to shoot a target, playing basketball, and fat albert. Towards the end of the line of games, the boy came across a game that used fish bowls. He looked to his mom and asked if he could actually win real fish at this game. His mother allowed him once chance at the game which consisted of throwing 5 ping pong balls into many fish bowls. The boy was so excited that he could have the chance at winning 5 fish; however, he was so small that he could barely see where he was throwing the ping pong balls. After he took all five chances none of the balls landed in the fish balls and the boy was so devastated because he never had any pets and wanted to win something at the carnival. The men working the game gave the young boy five of the gold fish since it was their last night in this town and most of the fish wouldnt survive to their next destination. The boy was ecstatic about these new pets and made his mother go to the store and buy two fish bowls and fish food to feed 1,000 fish for the next year before going home. The boy was only five years old and expected the five pet fish he had to be extremely interesting; however, he complained to his mother that they never did anything. He would spend hours watching them because he believed that his fish had magical powers and could jump up and out of the water. She told him that he shouldnt stare and watch the fish all day because they wouldnt perform while he is watching. She suggested that they should put all five fish in one
bowl and place the other bowl with water in it beside it. A week went by of the boy staring at the fish constantly and the fish did not move into the other bowl. The boy gave up and told the mother that he didnt even want to have the fish as pets anymore because they dont do anything. The mother explained to the young boy that he must not stare endlessly at the fish waiting for them to do something. After the boy stopped watching the fish constantly for a few days the child realized that four of the five fish had moved into the second container. He told his mom, but she assumed that he had moved four of them by himself. While tucking the child in for bed that night the mother and son heard a splash of water coming from the fish bowls. They immediately looked over and the last fish was jumping into the other bowl.
