"Kept in a small bowl, the goldfish will remain small. With more space, the fish will double, triple, or quadruple in size." It occurred to me then that I was intended for larger things. After all, a giant man can't have an ordinary-sized life.” MenPersonsFoundGrowsSpaceAnswersCommonGrowing UpOrdinarySizeFishesGiantsArticlesBowlsGoldfish Author:John August
