She was very particular about their drinking water, and washed out the little glass cups that held it most carefully.
After the canaries were clean and comfortable, Miss Laura set their cages in the sun, and turned to the goldfish.

They were in large glass globes on the window-seat.

She took a long-handled tin cup, and dipped out the fish from one into a basin of water.

Then she washed the globe thoroughly and put the fish back, and scattered wafers of fish food on the top.

The fish came up and snapped at it, and acted as if they were glad to get it.
