A sad tale about Matt Beard’s pet fish, Bucket and Spade

Matt was so excited when he bought two pet fish and named them Bucket and Spade. It wasn't long though before one of those fish got sick. Very sick. The pet shop said he needed special chemicals for the water, so he spent a lot of money to make things better. Sadly, things didn't improve for Bucket. Or was it Spade? Anyway, did Matt do the right thing for his fish? And is a fish's life as important as other types of pets?
