Fish Bowl Story
One day, all the little fishes in their fish bowls were just swimming around, as usual, minding
their own. When all of the sudden, a new fish bowl appeared just to the side of them. At first nothing
was in it, but soon a giant came and placed a new fish in the new bowl. It appeared that soon the old

understands what they’re saying so that doesn’t matter all that much. Now, as the new fish has gained
