The creek is so big
and she is so small.
Her pigtails bounce as she ran to the shining water.
"I caught her, I caught her!"
she hollered to her mom,
who sighed, not caring at all.
A few minutes later she got four more.
She filled the jar up to the brim.
She let the fish swim and swim.
Five orange goldfish
bring her happiness for once in her life.
She added a red bow to the jar,
double knotting it as best as she could
for she was never taught.
She set them on her table next to her bed.
"i love you five!" she said,
and she smiled her cheeky, toothless grin.
