Back To Freedom
A small channa punctata
Found jumping near my house
While it was raining.
I couldn't believe,
It jumped up from the stinky drain.
How it survived there !
My wife picked it up and kept
In a pot half filled with water
And covered it with a plate.
The whole night it jumped
Again and again in the pot
Disturbing our sleep.
Next day my wife decided
To release the fish
In the drain again.
I asked her to release it
In a nearby pond.
