It was a cold morning. It snowed and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.
“It is full of expensive things.” Mike said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others will take it away.”
He went out of the shop and ran across the street. A car driver saw him and began to whistle (鸣笛), but he didn't hear it and went on running.

Do you like animals? Do you want to keep animals? Yes, many people like animals and want to keep a lovely animal as a pet(宠物), especially for the old people and children. But it's a pity that they don't have a suitable (合适的) place to keep them. So keeping fish may be the best choice.
Why do people keep them?
People keep dogs and cats because they enjoy their friendship. Fish can not be friendly, but they have beautiful shapes and colors. It's a pleasure to watch them as they swim in their tank ---- a glass box with water in it.
What do they need?
First of all, the fish need a suitable tank, and you must put enough water into the tank. It is also good for them to have a few water plants in the tank to keep the water pure (纯净的). Putting a few snails (蜗牛) in the tank is a good idea, too. They will keep the water clean.
What about feeding(喂养) them?
There are many kinds of fish food that you can get in the shops. Most are good for all kinds of fish. You should feed your fish only once a day. It is important not to give them too much food. Just give them as much as they can eat up in about 15 minutes. This will keep them healthy.
