One day several thousand years ago, a man took a dull-coloured carp with a few red scales from a slow-running stream in China - and turned it by careful breeding into gold. Now every week they are bred in millions for fun-fairs and pet shops all around the world. In Britain they are cherished, but often badly looked after, pets. In contrast most goldfish from one US fish farm are fed to pet piranhas!

Face Values with people from Bali, Brazil, California, Malta, Tanzania and Britain. Moving Through Life
Jimmy Adams , the Californian gypsy, spends a few thousand dollars on his daughter's wedding. Malim Manzi , a Tanzanian Muslim, spent two-thirds of his annual cash income on his boy's circumcision. Everywhere in the world, people find it essential to mark the important stages in life and the surprising discovery is that all such ceremonies have similar patterns.
