My grandchildren like ' Scooping goldfish (kingyo-sukui) ' at the summer festival.

One summer they enjoyed Scooping goldfish. They came home with a bag of goldfish. They were very small but strong. They were about 3 cm long. They became bigger and bigger-- at last they grew up over 10 cm long !

My grandchildren loved them very much. They tapped their bowl. They spoke to them. They never forgot to feed their goldfish once a day. They dearly loved their goldfish.

But suddenly their lovely goldfish all died one after another three years ago, while they were away with their parents for summer vacation. They went to Kyushu to visit their grandparents.

The goldfish bowl had a filter for purifying the air. My daughter had changed a filter before she left for Kyushu.

Probably something wrong had happened. I think they died of lack of oxygen.

My daughter's family were all terribly shocked. Nobody could utter a word. They missed those goldfish so much

That summer they tried ' Scooping goldfish ' again at the summer festival. They got only one goldfish.

It has now grown very large. It looks happy in its bowl. I am never tired of looking at the goldfish.
