How I got Flag
Post Date 02/15/2010The day before Valentine’s Day, Saturday, my family and I went to the PETsMART. I was looking around the fish department when I decided to look at the brochures PETsMART has for types of fish. I picked one for a betta. I didn’t really read it, I just scanned it. Then I went to look at the bettas. While I was looking at the bettas I found three favorites. My favorites were a deep purple, a red white and blue, and a pale blue.
The next thing I did was help my parents choose two fish for our community tank. We chose a sunrise platy and a mickey platy. My favorite was the mickey platy. When we had gotten our fish I walked back to the bettas. I asked if I could have one. My parents said no at first. Then we walked over to get a background for our community tank. I liked a light blue bubbly background. It was expensive though, so we got a double sided black and blue background.
When we were passing through the tank aisle I saw a nice bowl that I could keep my betta in. my parents still said no. My mom found an aquarium that looked like a computer. It was usually $120 on sale for $40. It was then my parents said I could get a betta. They took me to the bettas and told me I could get one. I was looking at the bettas and decided to get the red, white, and blue one.
I was so happy that I must have said “thank you” a million times. I decided to name my betta Flag. My parents thought it was a great name.
