> A boy became the centre of attention when he brought a carp instead of ornamental fish to his kindergarten in Cixi, China, reported the same daily.

The kindergarten teacher had asked the children to bring ornamental fish to observe their movement in the class.

As his classmates brought their ornamental fishes, most of it goldfish, in a small aquarium, the boy brought the carp – on a plate.

The photo of the boy staring at the fish while his classmates were admiring their ornamental fish went viral on social media.

When contacted, the boy’s father said he misunderstood what exactly his son wanted when he asked for a fish to bring to the kindergarten.

“As I just caught the carp and I do not like its taste, I let him take it to school,” he said.
