    Yup. I did some hard time for that one. Not in jail, but the psych ward.

    Speaking of this, I watched a series called "Happy" yesterday on the plane. This is an excellent description of the show.

    How did she know there were fish to begin with?

    Rogers included the text of the girl's letter in his book, "Dear Mister Rogers, Does It Ever Rain in Your Neighborhood?" published in 1996.
    As he noted in the book:

    One girl and her family wrote to tell us there was a special reason why she wanted me to talk about feeding the fish each day.

    Dear Mister Rogers,

    Please say when you are feeding your fish, because I worry about them. I can’t see if you are feeding them, so please say you are feeding them out loud.

    Katie, age 5 (Father’s note: Katie is blind, and she does cry if you don’t say that you have fed the fish.)
