Aman and Anu went to their grandmother’s house during the summer vacations. Uncle
John was her neighbour. He was a jolly person. It was a lovely afternoon. Uncle John

asked Aman and Anu to come with him. He
took them to the big garden near his house.

There was a pond with colourful fish in it.
They were swimming all the time. Aman

and Anu loved watching them. Aman asked
Uncle John, ‘‘How does a fish swim?’’

Uncle explained, ‘‘A fish has an air bladder
in its stomach. It is full of air. A fish can swim

or float with the help of this bladder.’’

‘‘How fast can a fish swim?’’ Anu asked.

Uncle John replied, ‘‘It can swim as fast as a
good swimmer.’’

‘‘How can a fish breathe in water, Uncle?’’ Aman asked Uncle John.
