Sometimes you get roses, sometimes you get brickbats

Life is a funny thing eh?  Just as I am winding down at school, having packed everything away and tidied everything up, I look in my fish tank at work and what do you know...baby fish!  Hundreds of them!  A complication I just don't need.  The person who is looking after my class next term was happy to have the fish, but not so happy to be running a maternity ward!  Darn it all!  So now, I am going to have to go in every day through the holidays, almost up until we leave the country, just to keep these little tackers alive.  I can't let them die, the kids would be devastated and it just isn't who I am.
  I guess it could be worse, and babies are cute.  They are pretty amazing, all about half a centimetre long, hiding in the plants.  The adults shouldn't eat them, so maybe they will survive.  Who knows, maybe I will be able to sell some and make some money?
