THE GOLDFISH 81 



THE GOLDFISH 

 eyelids breathing gill covers 



Here is the Goldfish 



He has two eyes, -a nose, a mouth, a pair of 

 arms, and a pair of legs. 



He has no eyelids. 



But he can move his eyes. 



His nose is hard to find. 



Just like your nose, it is above the mouth. 



But he does not use these small holes for 

 breathing. 



He breathes through his mouth and gill covers. 



The water goes into his mouth and out past 

 the gills. 



But water is not air. 



No ; but there is air in it. 



Have you never watched the water boil ? 



Then you have seen the air coming out of it.
