Fish Bowl Story
Momo had only been home a few days. This was quite the change from the pet store. The
tanks were always so crowded, and now he had a bowl all to himself. He had been bought by a
little boy, whose name he thinks is Axl. Axl also has a sister named Dawn. She has four goldfish
of her own. Axl had just gotten Momo for his birthday. Every day the kids go off to school and
leave the fish to fend for themselves. The kids also have one cat, named Sushi. Momo’s bowl sat
towards the edge of the counter, which he feared, because he could see Sushi down below.
Dawn’s bowl was farther away and safer on top of a taller counter. Momo decided that he would
have to make the jump to the other bowl. Sushi had be getting bolder and jumping closer and
closer to Momo’s bowl. Momo waited till the kids were out of the house and prepared for the
jump. He swam faster and faster till he shot up out of the water. Sushi on the floor nearby took
notice. He jumped up into the air. Desperately Sushi swiped up at him, but put too much
momentum into his swing. The swing threw him off balance and he was flung back down to the
floor. Momo fell through the top of the other bowl. As he entered into the water the other fish
cheered. He was safe.
