Goldfish and pond fish: the three-second memory myth, sentence 15

Flushing a goldfish down the toilet is not kind and does not set it free; released goldfish can harm wild rivers, and a fish swimming home to the sea through the pipes, like in Finding Nemo, is cartoon fantasy.

Who acts: Flushing, released goldfish, fish · What happens: flush, not be, not set, release, harm, swim · To what, where: goldfish, wild rivers, pipes, cartoon fantasy
