Seeking a creative loophole, David decides to raise fish, but his attempt at pet ownership quickly escalates when he finds himself with over a hundred fish, leading to an unexpected and humorous domestic situation. The narrative masterfully captures the dynamic between a determined child and a rule-setting parent. It resonates with young readers through its relatable premise of wanting a pet and appeals to adults through its empathetic portrayal of parenting challenges. This 1973 publication remains a classic exploration of persistence, childhood imagination, and the surprising turns of everyday life, all presented with charming illustrations that enhance the emotional depth of David's journey.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/no-ducks-in-our-bathtub/425345/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/no-ducks-in-our-bathtub/425345.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Noah","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-31","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the specific rules David's mother has established regarding pets?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"David's mother has forbidden him from keeping bugs, pigeons, or ducks inside their apartment.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What solution does David find to bypass his mother's strict pet rules?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"David decides to bring home fish eggs, reasoning that keeping fish in an apartment is generally considered acceptable compared to other animals.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Why does the situation with the fish become complicated?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The situation becomes problematic because the number of fish grows to 103, and they are unusually special, creating a situation that David's mother finds even more difficult than if he had simply kept a duck.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},425345,1790826011,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":8,"category_name":10,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":36,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144},8796095462418,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/80000253c1241d02b47?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1778826106357471780","STORY AND PICT U RES BY  \nMartha Alexander  \nAccording to David,his mother is a\"mean old crab.\"She has laid down thelaw:\"No bugs in this apartment.\"Andno pigeons!And no ducks!What is aboy to do?
