Once upon a time, there was a boy and girl who lived in a house with a big clock. One day, the boy saw a fish swimming outside the window. He ran to get the girl so she could see too, but when they returned, the fish was gone. They searched high and low, but couldn't find the fish anywhere. Suddenly, the clock struck 12 and the fish popped out of the clock, surprising the boy and girl. From then on, the fish lived happily inside the clock, swimming in and out every hour to say hello to his new friends. The end.

Reflections

1. Where did the boy and girl first see the fish?
2. What happened when the clock struck 12?
3. How did the fish end up living in the clock?
4. Do you think the fish was happy living in the clock? Why or why not?
