GOLDEN OLDIE

My daughter Sophie is 34 years old and my grandson Tim is seven. Recently Tim was very upset because his goldfish, Pinkie, had died.

“Next time just buy Tim another goldfish and say Pinkie woke up,” I said after listening to Sophie’s story.

I saw Sophie’s face change. “Mum, how could you?” she said. “So that’s how Goldie lived to be 15!” SUBMITTED BY OLGA ARNOLD
