the scales and bones through its gills.
The water fills with glittering golden flecks.
One day the arawana refuses to eat. After a week, I go to the petshop
owner and he says that it happens occasionally.
What happens, I ask.
Sometimes, the arawana becomes friends with the goldfish he is supposed
to eat.
Will he starve, I ask.
No. Simply take the goldfish out and leave him alone for a few days.
He will forget they are his friends and, after two or three days, you put
him back.
