Hanna Tells Me About Her Science Fair Experiment Today
and I feel bad because Iâve talked so much about mine
but I never asked about hers.
I wonder how often I do that.
I go over to her house and she shows me
her huge tank of all kinds of fishes.
There are glowing fish and goldfish and tiny fish
and wall-of-the-tank-sucking fish.
She taps the side of the tank and then feeds the fish.
By tapping the tankâs wall sheâs hoping she can teach the fish
to come to that side when the food comes.
Her experiment is to see how the fish act differently.
I never knew fish could learn things.
Hanna says, âNo one respects fish. I think itâs because
you canât pet them.â
I tell her, âYour fish are very smart.â
And she thanks me and tells me to give it a try.
I peer into the water and see all their little faces.
I tap the glass and the fish donât seem to notice.
I drop in the food and say, âI think theyâre just still learning.â
Hanna says, âAt least I have a little more than a week
till the science fair.â We hang out and talk on her porch.
Her parents make dinner, and I like them a lot.
They ask me what my project is about
and I hesitate to say âMothmanâ because I know
that sounds not real, so I just say
âIâm taking a survey with a bunch of questions.â
Hanna shoots me a look, and later I tell her
I just want them to like me. She says
she understands.
