The Easter Fish

Raymond woke up excited. Although the reasons were not really clear, he knew he would be receiving gifts today. Gifts were great. Since he thought in pictures instead of words, Raymond would never phrase it as suchn. However, he did understand that gifts were great.

He ran immediately to the living room. Never mind that he bypassed his mother in the breakfast nook, smiling with her arms extended.

"Raymond, come here and see what the easter bunny brought you!" He ran back, breathless and excited and looked up.

The tank was hexagonal plastic, and the fish a black, blue and red betta. Perfect coloration, with black front fading to blue rear and a fiery red tail. Truly a wonder of nature, this urban predator.
