The TRUE Tail of Echo and Narcissus

Some of you may have heard, some might not have. But on Friday, March 14th 2010, Narcissus Died. So I would like to share with you the TRUE story of Echo and Narcissus.

It was a hot Wednesday in Montana but Echo was happy anyway. She had had her mother write her a permission slip the night before. She was going to get a goldfish after school. She managed to make it through the day with out having an aneurysm and ran straight to the science room. As soon as Echo got there she realized that EVERYONE wanted a fish!!! She ran over to the table and snatched up a container with a fish in it. After Echo got the tank set up she put the fish in the tank and fed it. She looked at the fish. The fish looked at her. And Echo said this is my Narcissus. Then went to bed. When she woke up the next morning she Narcissus. Then got ready for school. After school she came home and fed Narcissus. It went like this until Saturday. Saturday morning Echo woke up and went over to Narcissus's tank. She looked to see where he went, and when she found him, he wasn't moving, and he was stuck to the filter. Echo reached in the tank and pulled him off the filter. He still wasn't moving. She picked him up and started crying. Her mother took her to Pioneer Park, where they found a big tree and Echo buried Narcissus in the coffin she had made of felt for him. She made him a headstone out of some sticks and embroidery thread. And that is the story of Echo and Narcissus.
