A Louisiana girl burst into tears after her father explained that she couldn't have a dead fish she found in a lake as a pet.<br /><br />While on a trip in the Toledo Bend, Louisiana, Harper, aged 4, found a dead fish and pleaded with her dad, William, that she wanted to keep it as a pet.<br /><br />"I wanna have a fish," Harper is heard saying. After her dad asks which fish she points to a little dead fish floating in the lake and says: "That fish. I want it as my pet."<br /><br />William told Newsflare: "My daughter was gifted a betta fish over a year ago after successful potty training. We noticed the fish was just lying on the bottom of the tank for a couple of days and decided to give her the 'death' talk. <br /><br />"While saying her goodbyes and tapping the glass, the fish woke from its comatose due to the colder temperature of the water, we learned this after the resurrection. <br /><br />"Now my daughter believes she has magical powers to bring animals back to life, including this dead shiner she was playing with."<br /><br />This video was filmed on August 18.
