A Christmas Miracle

On a cold December day, Dawn was nice and cozy in her warm kitchen. As she chopped vegetables and prepared dinner, the cat raced around her ankles and up and down the stairs, causing a general ruckus. Thumps and thuds were heard, but Dawn thought nothing of them as her head was full of Christmas songs she hummed as she cooked. 


As her dinner was cooking Dawn remembered that it was the day she was supposed to change the water in her fish's tank. She walked down the stairs and looked at her desk where Irwin's tank usually sat. It was not there. 
Confused, she called to her housemates in the kitchen " Did I already bring the fish up?" 


Knowing less than she did, he confused housemates responded that Sharkbait (as they affectionately call him) was nowhere to be seen. 


Dawn turned to leave her room and check for her self when, on the ground, behind her trash can, she saw Irwin's tank - upside down, almost all water leaked out.


Panicked, she scooped the tank in her arms and ran to the kitchen yelling "I FOUND HIM, BUT IT'S BAD, IT'S AN EMERGENCY" 


Reaching the kitchen, she sat the tank in an upright position and reached her fingers into the slimy green rocks, uncovering Irwin's small blue body. Quickly, she poured a cup of fresh water into the tank, Irwin began to stir. Dazedly he began swimming in small circles around the tank.


Dawn and her housemates were ecstatic. HE WAS ALIVE! The small fish had been granted the Christmas Miracle of life.


Dawn cleaned his tank extra well that day, and placed Irwin under his favourite lamp. Though the lid of his tank has a small crack, he still swims happily around his plastic plant living his aquatic life to the fullest.
