13 Cent Fish
6-15-2001
Something about teaching someone's kid something profound, and it meant a lot to me since I didn't have my own kid, but I always wanted to pass on this tidbit of knowledge.
Apartment...house...lots of people...talking...go into a bathroom in the morning to find a goldfish lying on top of a miniature scale. I ask someone why, and they say it was more cost effective to let the fish die than to rescue it. But since the fish cost 13 cents and resucing it was free, that didn't make sense to me.
