Finish the plan

Here is the plan for the fish afternoon, with one answer missing. Which note belongs in the blank?

  • Who? Me and my little brother.
  • What do I want to do? Teach my brother to feed the fish.
  • What happens when I try?  
  • How does it end? We scoop a little back out, and I feel proud.
