Some babies.

It would seem extremely unlikely that a heron might have found an identical orfe to drop into the pond on the very next day after one actually died, and there didn`t seem to be any other fish disturbed or taken. No one else in the village kept golden orfe at the time, and no one had seen any heron anyway.
I remember my daughter telling me at the time - quite seriously ''it just came back to life mummy'' I have always put it down to being one of life`s little mysteries..... I know I buried the dead fish - and the kids all saw it go into it`s ''coffin'' box too.
