The galjoen was surrounded by happiness and peace. His journey starts when he is unexpectedly separated from his brother and the rest of his family. An old woman, wearing a shawl draped around her head and holding a large butcher knife has a dilemma: to swiftly come down and chop off the galjoen's head to feed her hungry family or to throw the fish back into the water. What will she do?

Faizaan has raised awareness about our national fish the galjoen which is an endangered species. It belongs to a family of fish which are found only off our coastline. Well done Faizaan! -Khadija Ismail Crescent Montessori School, Polokwane, South Africa
