On the first day, Julia did what was instructed on the box. But Fishy kept opening its mouth continuously. On the second day, Julia decided to give it a little more. Little by little, she fed Fishy the whole box within an hour. Poor fishy overate and soon it died. Julia lost her cute little friend. She felt bad at not following the instructions.
