“I want to explore!” Lizzie ran off into a side door.
“Lizzie, don’t …” but I trailed off when I noticed the aquarium. An actualaquarium. I’d read about them, but I’d never seen one in person.
“There’s a garden in here,” Lizzie yelled. “It’s huge.” She scampered off into another room.
I stared at the aquarium. So much water. There had to be a couple dozen gallons in there at least, with machines to clean it and put bubbles in it, with rocks and little decorations. But where were the fish?
“I’ve never seen a bed so big!” Lizzie yelled. More scampering.
I leant over the top to smell if it was salt or freshwater, and that’s when I found the fish. They were floating.
Then Lizzie shrieked.
