When a four-year-old boy won a tiny goldfish at a fairground, no one expected it to live for very long, the Daily Mail reported. But Paul Palmer is now 28 years old, and the one-inch tiddler he brought home from Newcastle's Hoppings fair is still alive and well.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，一個小男孩4歲時在遊樂場贏了一隻小金魚，誰都未曾料想它會活很久；可是這個小男孩保羅•帕默今年已經28歲了，他從紐卡斯爾遊樂會上帶回家的僅1英寸長的小金魚卻依然活着，而且很健康。

Sharky has just celebrated his 24th birthday.

小金魚鯊奇剛剛慶祝了24歲生日。

What's more, one goldfish year is equal to five human years, meaning Sharky has been around for the equivalent of a century.

金魚1年壽命相等於人類5年，換言之，鯊奇目前已是百歲高齡了。

Palmer said: "He's had a charmed life because mum actually put him down the toilet once thinking he was dead but he swam back up the U-bend."

帕默稱：“他一定是冥冥中有神保佑，有一次我媽媽以爲它死掉了，把它衝下馬桶，但是，它竟然從U型管裏遊了回來。”
