Trick-or-Goldfish?
Prepare to be amazed by one of the most unconventional trick-or-treat gifts ever encountered. In this storyteller’s neighborhood, there lived a man who once owned a pet store. Each Halloween, he had a rather peculiar tradition: giving children a brand-new goldfish in a small water-filled bag as a treat. The children who received these unexpected aquatic companions must have been thrilled.
However, the parents, on the other hand, might not have shared the same enthusiasm. One can only imagine the mixed feelings of the neighborhood parents who suddenly found themselves responsible for a new pet, complete with the associated care and expenses. While most kids adore the idea of a new pet, the reality of their responsibilities often falls short of their initial enthusiasm.
