Anchovies and Alevin



Alim:  Mum, what are anchovies?

Mum:  Small fish. Like Alevin.

Alim:  What is Alevin?

Mum:  Small fish. Like anchovies.

Alim:  (Pause. Thinking.. Still thinking). Mum, you're not helping.

Mum:  (Really smiling. I know am not helping). By the way honey, just eat your Alevin.
