First Arapaima

It was raining in town today, and that’s very helpful now that I have flower gardens. No watering required!

I saw a large fish shadow in the river, so I fished it out. Surprise, surprise: It was my first arapaima!

I caught an arapaima! It's big...and kinda gross!

Just two more fish to go now! I took it over to the museum to donate it, and Blathers told me how they used to be common, but now they’re rare.

Blathers: The arapaima used to be abundant, but overfishing has sadly made them rare.

Then he started getting deep…or overdramatic, depending on how you look at it.

Blathers: One has to wonder how many species must suffer to satiate the world...

When I visited Rocco, he complained that I haven’t been coming around like I used to. Oh, really? He said it has been two weeks since we talked…so apparently I missed talking to him last week. No big loss there.

Rocco: Whoa! What happened to you?! You don't come around like you used to...

Jeremiah had his furniture all packed up in boxes, and he was all set to move out of town. But after just one attempt, I got him to reconsider. He knows he didn’t really want to leave me.

Jeremiah: Huh huh huh! Maybe I'll stick around a little bit longer, in a pond!

Crazy Redd was in town, but I didn’t need what he was selling.

Redd: You like it? You like that quaint painting? Hee hee hee!
If your painting is quaint,
then shopping, I ain’t.
