Lilly was feeling especially hungry by teatime. They had eaten lunch very early and they had been playing all day. Harry was less hungry than Lilly because he ate one of her sandwiches during lunch.Lilly, of course knew nothing about this as he had scoffed it down while she went to the toilet during lunch. By the time she had come back, her three-sandwich lunch had become a two-sandwich lunch. Naturally, Lilly just thought they had been given less for some reason. Not being particularly hungry at the time, she did not give it a second thought and ate down what she did have.Harry however, was not looking forward to tea quite as much on account of feeling pretty full still from his overly large lunch—thanks to his dear sister Lilly, donating one of her gorgeous sandwiches to him.Being sure she would have said no, if he had of asked for one of her sandwiches, he thought it best to not bother asking and just helped himself instead.Unfortunately, for Harry however, his sandwich exploits were not as successful as he thought. Whilst he thought their mom was not watching, she in fact was. Having seen Harry steal his sisters sandwich, their mom thought it a good idea to teach greedy little Harry a lesson.Japan, which is near Korea and China, is very famous for its fish. In particular, how they eat fish—they do not bother cooking it. No, really, they eat it raw!As it turns out, eating raw fish in this way, which is called Sushi, is very tasty indeed.However, it is widely known that only certain types of fish are eaten and especially in this way; not that Harry’s mom is going to tell Harry that.After speaking to a very nice man at a toyshop, their mom managed to buy a toy goldfish that looked very much like their own pet goldfish, Glen.Pet goldfish are very different to sushi, but Harry’s mom is banking on him not knowing that.After explaining to both Harry and Lilly, what sushi is and that it is a delicious Japanese speciality, she told them that they are having sushi for tea as a treat for being so good.Putting both of their plates of food on the table and after covering each plate with a small cloth, she called them both for tea.As they went to sit down to eat, their mom called Lilly to the other room claiming to need a hand.Watching through a crack in the door, both Lilly and their mom watched Harry take his seat and start to wait for Lilly.Knowing that he had been told that sushi was very delicious, Harry could not hold the temptation any longer. Deciding that although not very hungry, he would eat a little of his sisters tea before she got back, Harry reached over and pulled her plate close to him. After a quick check to make sure that he was not been watched, Harry pulled the cloth off Lilly’s plate and eagerly went to plunge his fingers into her food. Mere millimetres from the plate, Harry suddenly realised what was on the plate. He was sure that he was looking at Glen, their pet goldfish staring back up at him.Screeching with surprise and shock, Harry pulled his hand away so quickly he made himself fall off his seat and landed in a heap on the floor; which is where his laughing sister and mom found him moments later.Harry was relieved to find out that he had not almost eaten Glen the goldfish, but rather a plastic impersonator.
