Children should have pets. Owning
critters builds character. I learned many valuable life and death lessons from
my pets I would not have learned any other way. I discovered mortality because
of an experience with a goldfish. One day I returned from school and Goldy was
hovering in the waters downside up. My mom had poured chlorinated tap-water
into the fishbowl. Therefore, Goldy shriveled and floated up like a dead
goldfish in a fishbowl.
Another enlightening experience that
happened to me was with my pet rooster. Chanticleer had the chicken flu, so I
decided to ease his passing. That was the plan. I flourished a machete and set Chanticleer
on the stump. I swung, but at the last moment, I chickened out. Whenever you
decide to do something, do it with all your might. If not, you could end up
chasing a half decapitated rooster over the river and through the wood and
finishing him off the hard way. I did
not hit him as hard as I should have, and Chanticleer sprung, ran off and I
exclaimed.
There is no better way for children
to learn these serious and important lessons than through first-hand experience
with pets. Get yourself a pet, a goldfish, or a rooster.
