“Goldy, Beware! the water is deep” the Golden fish cried
But little Goldy remained calm and said “Don’t worry Mama, I’m brave! I’m a “super fish!”
On hearing these words ,she put her hands on her head. It was too much. It was vacations and the little Goldy was doing nothing but watching TV.
Next morning, she took him on an early morning swimming. The Goldy was still half asleep when she asked her to inhale some air and took him up on the surface.
Goldy saw a man standing on a ship. His eyes were red and he looked furious.
“Have you heard about Nimo”? Her mother whispered, “He also wanted to become a super fish. He never listened to his father and this man took him away. Son, the movies are not always real”.
She took a pause and added,
“Nimo, never returned!”
Expressions of fear appeared on Goldy’s face and his mother smiled. She was satisfied that her little fish was not going to waste his vacations in watching too much TV now .

What a clever Mama! She certainly knew how to make little Goldy take notice. A lovely story, and the reference to what happened to Nimo worked really well. 🙂

I don’t know whether that will stop him watching TV but it will probably make him a lot more cautious about where he swims! Sweet story. 🙂

He’ll be more cautious in future 🙂

Wonderful story! I enjoyed reading it. You asked me about the word “now.” I think you can either use it or not. That’s my personal opinion.
