Now
that our semantic web is filled in
we can write an organized story about goldfish.
Goldfish are easy pets
to care for and can be found in many households.
Some live in a fish tank in many homes, but others can be found in
man-made ponds in backyards.
Those goldfish that live in a fish tank will eat
goldfish food bought from your local
pet store. Goldfish found in man-made ponds will live off of
the plant life in the ponds. They
survive like many fish that aren't in captivity. Goldfish have
a very simple lifestyle. While we
are working, going to school, or playing all day goldfish are
swimming around their tank or pond all
day. If they are lucky enough to have other fish around they
may even play with them. Goldfish
are usually orange in color with
fins to help them swim. If you
are considering a new pet think seriously about a goldfish. I
think you will make the right choice.
