The Goldfish

It all started when my goldfish started talking to me. His name is Frank, at least he asked me to call him that. It was a foggy morning, when I rubbed My sleepy eyes and dragged myelf toward the fish tank in The living room, I heard a man's voice. “Hi There, My name is frank.”Those words gave me chills. How could a man secretly broke into the General's mansion without any servants noticing. The man discovered my thoughts.“I am not an intruder, I am your goldfish!” 

My heart pounded rapidly, "How the hell can a goldfish talk?" "Don't worry about that, Elisa. I just want to be your friend. That's all. I won't hurt You and of course I can't." The voice replied. "Show me some evidences that You are trully The fish." I stammered in astonishment. "I will bubble." The suspected fish said. I stared into the little red figure in The water, waiting for The sign of bubbles. "Perhaps the Frank is simply a fraud." I thought. Simultaneously. lots of bubbles poped up, and the fish was swimming abnormally. "Do You believe me now? "The voice of The man returned. "But...This is not unscientific...No fish Can communicate with human. " "Well. Perhaps I am an exception. But it seems that you are The only human I can talk to as far. Maybe this was somehow what you called a miracle. " Since I was The only person he can communicate with, why shouldn't we be friends. I thought.

My name is Elisa, The daughter of The General. The niece of the Queen. It.seemed I was born with a golden spoon. But my life has been somehow boring. The occurrence of this talking goldfish brought me joy as well as surprise. Since all my classmates at school were forced to bow to me everyday, no one wanted to be true friend of mine, all of their solicits were either for power or for The gold. But I was afraid to tell my parents, I knew they would kill those kids if I told the truth, so I had to suffer for being all alone. 

I looked at Frank, his tiny fish eyes looked back at me “Maybe you can tell me, since anyone else in this world can not know anything form me, I am a perfect secret keeper.” He let out a comforting laughter. I dipped my hand in the shallow water and patted his ridge back. "Ouch! It hurts" Frank complained. "Well. this is the way people show their intimacy," I said, "From then on, you are my best friend, Frank." I picked up The fish tank and walked back to my bedroom. My mother who was busying dealing her makeup for her three gigolos saw me sneaking back to my bedroom wearing velvet pajamas. She shouted, "What are You doing out there?" "Nothing mother, I just got some water."  "Call The servant to do that for You next time, My dear."She always wanted me to act like a perfect young lady, But I am never a girl like that. So I'd rather be with a fish.

The next morning , The first thing I did was to say good morning to my new friend Frank. But when I looked into the glass tank, there was no fish. Where has Frank gone to?
