Into the Wild

I had a pet goldfish for five years. I named him Dai, which means ‘big’ in Japanese, hoping he’d grow big. And what do you know, he grew to be 10 inches! 

我的金魚叫"大"。我給他這個名字因為我想他長得很大。我買他的時候、他只有４公分。５年後、他變成２４公分！

Since we can’t bring him with us on our world trip, we decided to enroll him in an elementary school. It’s actually the school Yoshi’s mother works at. They have a goldfish pond -- it’s perfect!  

我沒辦法帶他去旅行、所以我決定我要讓他進入小學。哈哈。其實是Yoshi媽媽工作的學校。學校裏有金魚池塘。

At home, Dai had the fish tank to himself so he's never really had any goldfish friends. I hope he can adjust to his new life in the pond. (Geez, I sound like a worried parent!)

在水槽裏只有大。從小小的水槽、他要搬到很大的池塘。在池塘裏他會游泳得很自由。他會感覺到日光、看雨。我希望他會過很自然的生活。

 

Thanks for these memorable five years! I’ll miss you!

我會想念你！
