Well, we all thought Charlie would be the one to make it. He was the most active fish - always darting around the tank. But this morning when I checked the tank to see how the fish were doing, I only saw three fish - no Charlie. It took a couple of minutes of searching before I thought to check the floor. Yep, there he was.
So, here's what I think happened.
Charlie, (in his best surfer voice) "Hey, Dudes! What's up?"
Lisa & Goldie sigh, "Hi Charlie."
Charlie: "Wanna bet me that I can jump that wall."
Lisa & Goldie, "No Charlie."
Charlie: "Come on bet me! I bet I can!"
Lisa: "Whatever Charlie."
Charlie: "No, really I bet I can. Just watch." With that he darted to the opposite end of the tank and muttered to himself, "Come on, dude, you can do this! Then they'll see how awesome you are." He zoomed through the water and with an extra swish of his tail he went flying out of the water and over the wall - only to discover there was no water on the other side.
Lisa: "Lame"
Goldie: "Totally. That guy is such a show off. What do you think is on the other side of that wall anyway."
Lisa: "Who cares. Let's find some food."
