Feed the fish before you play

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.
