Animals that live in our homes cannot go and find their own food, so they wait for you. While you are playing it is very easy to forget them, and a hungry fish in dirty water soon becomes ill. The safest way is to do the small job first: you feed the fish, and then you go and play. It is that little gesture, repeated every day, that keeps your animal healthy.
Examples
- Before you tip the box of blocks onto the floor, you sprinkle a pinch of food into the tank; then you can play and nobody is left waiting.
- On Saturday morning you water the plant on the windowsill before you switch on the television, so it never goes thirsty.
Key takeaways
- An animal at home depends on you every single day.
- Do the small job first, always at the same moment, and you will not forget it.
