A few days passed, Raffy and the other fish got used to their new home. When the boys watched television, the two fishes watched with them. When the boys laughed at what they were watching so did they. And Raffy always hoped and waited for Sabrina to come home. Every time she arrived, she would pass by the aquarium, look and smile at the two fishes and Raffy would look at her and hoped that she would give him a flying kiss. He no longer screamed for a flying kiss knowing that she couldn't hear him. 

           All I can do now is to love her from afar or from inside the aquarium, Raffy thought and laughed a little at himself. Maybe someday I'll find a way for her to understand me, and then she'll throw me her flying kiss and I'll be a handsome merman once again, thought Raffy once more from inside the tank.
