new vacuum cleaner
Elizabeth was only five
she thought she was doing the right thing
She accidentally sucked up the goldfish
when she knocked over the aquarium
as she was vacuuming the floor
She was going to surprise mom and dad
with a clean carpet, but now it’s covered
with aquarium rocks, shattered glass and
fish water
But she had to try to save the fish before
she could clean up the mess, so she poured
water into the vacuum cleaner to try to give
the poor fish something to breathe
Now mom and dad have to get a new carpet,
a new aquarium and a new vacuum cleaner
