One morning, a baby bear Tin Tin went to visit his friend Mei Mei and asked: 'Hey, Mei Mei, where can you get this three-tailed fish?' 'Oh, my mum buys it for my birthday,' replied baby monkey Mei Mei. Baby bear Tin Tin continued: 'they look nice and lovely.' 'Certainly, I really love them; they are like my friends .' 'Mei Mei, can you give me these fish?' . 'Ah ... no, of course not. It is the gift my mum bought for me and I have fed them up very hard. So I can't give them to you.' Baby bear Tin Tin came back home. He said to his father who was painting the wall 'Daddy, I would like you to buy two three-tailed fish for me.''My dear, why do you want to buy the three-tailed fish?' answered Tin Tin's father to his son surprisingly. 'Yes dad. I want to get it to make friends as Mei Mei does,' replied Tin Tin eagerly. 'Please, buy them for me, daddy. I really need two three-tailed fish.' 'OK my dear!' replied Tin Tin's father.
Tomorrow I will go to buy them for you.' The following day, Tin Tin's father went to buy three-tailed fish for him like what he had promised. He said to his beloved son: 'Tin Tin, my dear, this is your three-tailed fish you want.' Tin Tin ran very fast to get the fish from his father, saying: 'Daddy, why there are 4 three-tailed fish as such?' 'My dear, I've bought you four because I want you to have more friends,' replied Tin Tin's father with a smile on his face. Tin Tin replied to his father happily because he had got four more than what he had asked. He hugged the fish glass and put it on the sofa and then he stared at the fish, saying alone: 'Hey, from now on, I have four more friends.' After getting the three-tailed fish, Tin Tin called Mei Mei to visit his house to see his fish. 'Tin Tin, you see you have more fish than me, so you have even more friends,' said Mei Mei to Tin Tin. 'When you come to my house some day, please take them with you to make friends with my fish.' 'Precisely, I will bring them,' replied Tin Tin with a smile on his face.
Both of them sat near the glass and stared at the fish swimming back and forth. Everyday, Tin Tin put his hand into the glass, stirring the water slightly to chat to the fish. When free from school, he always fed his fish. On Sunday morning, Tin Tin shouted loudly and loudly until his father overheard him: 'Daddy, why doesn't my fish swim? Instead of swimming, they are floating in the water. Daddy, please come and see!' Hearing Tin Tin shouting, his father ran to see him and asked: "My dear, what happens to you that you are shouting loudly like this?" "Look at my fish, dad; they aren't swimming in the water," answered Tin Tin depressingly, likely to cry.
