Huge Goldfish Found in France

Hi, students! Today, I want to talk about a special goldfish in France. What's so special about this goldfish? It's really, really big!
法國有一條金魚，體積超級大！

Usually, goldfish weigh about half a kilogram or less. They are pretty, small, and cute. Sometimes you see them in little fish bowls swimming around. But not this goldfish named Carrot. Carrot weighs 30 kilograms!
一般的金魚最多只有半公斤重，可以在小魚缸游來游去。但是有一條名叫胡蘿蔔的金魚，重達 30 公斤！

The fish was small when it was first put into a lake 20 years ago as a baby. In those 20 years, it grew and grew. A man named Andy Hackett caught the fish. I bet it was hard to catch!
這條金魚 20 年前被放進湖裡，然後就一直長大。後來被 Andy Hackett 抓到。

What did Andy do with the fish after he caught it? Did he chop Carrot up and give some to his friends. Did he put it on a big barbeque and eat it? Did he put Carrot in a zoo?
Andy 怎麼處理這條魚？分給朋友吃嗎？烤來吃嗎？還是送進動物園？

No, he didn't do any of these things. So, what did Andy do with the giant fish? He put Carrot back in the lake. He just caught the fish for fun.
都不是。Andy把 Carrot放回湖裡，他抓魚只是為了好玩。

I wonder how big Carrot will be the next time someone catches it?
