I am a fish in a tank

I am a very small and cute fish. At one time, I lived in a river. I was very happy to swim with my friends. One day, a boy came to the river with a net and caught me and brought me to his home and put me into a tank. From that day, my life changed. I spend this new life in the tank happily. I have a few friends. We swim here and there freely. Little children feed me with colourful sweet food. My tank is made of glass and children have decorated it with colourful bulbs, herbs and stones. Sometimes, children come to see us. However, I always think of my parents and my friends in the river. I always think one day I will go back to my home, the river.
