How Minlie felt was scared when she found that it’s a Dragon. I think the tears are made of salty water. What is he going to do without flying that is so horrible and who is the Goldfish man is it the guy that sells the fishes in the bowl

Minli decides to release the goldfish because Minli wants to go to the fruitless mountain and the goldfish knows the way to go and Minli is folowing the goldfish so Minli could go to the fruitless mountain to ask the old man of the moon that when is she getting her fortune so minly and her family could be rich and never be pooor again.And she has one more mouth to feed and she does not want to cook for one more mouth.Minli decides to release the goldfish because Minli wants to go to the fruitless mountain and the goldfish knows the way to go and Minli is folowing the goldfish so Minli could go to the fruitless mountain to ask the old man of the moon that when is she getting her fortune so minly and her family could be rich and never be pooor again.Another reason is because Minli has to feed another mouth beacuse she is tolazy and she feels bad for Ba and Ma.

I think Minli feels shocked. I think Minli feels shocked because she never met a dragon. In the story it said "When she finally opened her eyes, Minli almost sank underwater with shock". Also that the story said "Minli gaped at the dragon in front of her". This makes me realized that not only is she shocked but she is also amazed. I would have reacted the same, shocked.

I think ma and ba are shockat the sound they heared was the fisher man and will be sad that it was not minli. I think they would have give minli a hug if it was her but if it was not her they would have not done anything.

Ma and Ba see fooprints and a line in the dirt that thry might think lead them to minli. I don't think these footprints belong to Minli. I dont think these footprints belong to Minli because Minli never had a stick. I think these fotprints belong to the goldfish man.

I think it does not belong to Minli because it is the goldfish man during that chapter they realize it as goldfish man. In the text it state "It was not Minli. Instead, Ma and Ba starred openmouthed at the goldfish man". This means that it was not Minli's feet instead it was the goldfish man.

When Ma and Ba were walking in the forest they discovered the goldfish man. They were surprised. After that they were fitting because Ma blamed Ba because she thinks that its his fault that minli left the house and Ma said “Because you are the one who filled her with them." When Ma and Ba where with the goldfish man Mini was far away.
