SPRING TIDE - Just in time

The lonely and frustrated tropical fish that is the pet of a drunkard now has hope of getting back into natural water. The owner's house is right by the sea at Esbjerg in Denmark. It is practically on the beach. Now the insults are rising for this poor imported beautiful South Sea fish, but is the water cold up here in the north, he thinks. Will the other fish welcome me? We are talking about a 100-year spring tide, so the hopes for freedom are high. The addict owner often forgets to feed the beautiful fish. When I am out of this decanter I will swim all over the place, the little miniature fish thinks. I am going back to the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji in the South Pacific. I remember well the day I was born in the warm water. I will never see alcohol again. The house is a dump, and the drunkard could benefit from living in a better, more decent place. I am going home! -thinks the little optimistic miniature fish, hopeful and at the breaking point adventurous. The water has already reached the dining table. This is the way to go!
