Three men and their sacred fish


Years ago, when my uncle Ted was still a college student, he once went fishing with his roommates, William and Mike. They drove all the way to the lake and enjoyed themselves under the warm summer bliss. William meditated, while my uncle Ted studied the birds, and Mike… he fell asleep!

Then all of a sudden, they saw something moving near their fishing rods! It had golden color and beautiful shape. They hurried on and gathered around the fish. With some struggle, they finally caught the fish, put it in the truck and drove home.

When they got home two hours later, Mike’s girlfriend, Sarah, came out to greet them. “How’s your day? What do you guys get this time?” she asked.

“Oh, just a tiny little fish. It’s in the truck.” Mike answered tiredly. Sarah went to get the fish and the guys sat down on the sofa and rest.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!” They all heard a scream so they rushed out to see what sent Sarah hysteric.

“It’s… it’s alive!!! The fish is still alive!”

“What?”

“No way, man.”

“Oh, my god!! It’s really alive! This must be a miracle!”

That’s why they let the fish live in their bathtub… and it has been living there almost two years…
