Memory of a fish in Bulgaria

Posted by Dormantaccount4 - March 21st, 2024


When I was young, before I came to the US, my father gave me a lev, which is our currency [1 lev] to see what I would buy with it.


I purchased a fish. I wanted to have a pet, and it made sense to me. He said we would need an aquarium and I can't take care of my fish. We got in an arguement and the bag leaked out, which he emptied in the sink. There was a room temperature coffee on our table, and I saw the fish was having difficulty breathing, so I said "I'll save you!" And because coffee has water in it, put it in his coffee cup.


For a moment I thought that the fish might become jittery, so I found a glass, filled it with water while barely being able to turn on the sink, and put it in the cup.


I told my father that I understand that I can't have a pet fish in Bulgaria, but that I want to return it to the ocean.


We reached a lake and I dropped the fish in it, still alive and well.


Before that, while it was inside its cup, the fish responded to my hand movements.


Coffee had given the fish intellect.


I thought to myself, what could one fish which is more intelligent than most do?


Anyway, I assume that the fish had kids later, and even though the first generation is intelligent, there is a small margin that its children became smarter than it based on the way they were parented.


A decade later I went for summer vacation, and both in the US and Bulgaria I noticed that women who eat fish are becoming more beautiful.


Maybe the more awake and intellectually stimulated fish found better food in the ocean to eat, maybe it taught its kids, then they multiplied.


In reality this is the case. Fish are doing something as we speak to improve water and eating the right food.


A fisherman told me it's like they want to be caught. I don't have much fame on earth but fish are familiar with me, I assume.


They become more able bodied. Their meat tastes better and many women in Bulgaria follow a mediteranian diet. I guess fish are making women more attractive worldwide, but in a way that you don't want so much sex with them.


I'm glad I was able to accomplish something through pure luck. I've eaten fish in Bulgaria when I went, it tasted really, really good. And yet the price was more expensive. My aunt cooked it. I'm glad I was able to give the world something, and I have.


I guess it's small. What can one fish do? But they do have a hundred or more kids, so maybe it can do a lot?

I really like the story. I understood it, the meaning of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary wisdom to craft a story in response to yours. I'm sure the fish really appreciates that you let him go free into the ocean.
