This story of a lost pet and a sibling dilemma will strike a responsive chord with Franklin fans. It was just an accident: Franklins little sister Harriet didnt mean to upset Goldies fishbowl while the family was picnicking at the pond. But she did, and now Franklins beloved pet goldfish has disappeared into the pond. Harriet is as brokenhearted as Franklin, but Franklin cant help being angry with her; being sorry wont bring Goldie back. Guided by his parents kind understanding, Franklin eventually finds a way to go beyond his pain and forgive his little sister. The reward is a happy ending for the siblings, and for Goldie, too.
