How One Fish Outsmarted Matthew
by Linda L Wagner
Monday, April 14, 2008

Rated "G" by the Author.

       


     This book is about “How One Fish Outsmarted Matthew”. Matthew and his sister Anna had gone for a walk in the back acreage of their farm. Matthew took his fishing pole along because they had a pond back there and he was going to catch himself a fish. Anna was a day dreamer and she loved walking through the tall grass in the fields picking wild flowers. This story tells you how Matthew caught a fish and how the fish had outsmarted Matthew causing him to take home a pale with no fish in it.

 

 Matthew sat on the bank just staring at the water.  The watar was so clear he could see the fish just swimming around teasing the hook on his fishing pole.  "Patience is what it takes, patience," thought Matthew.  "One of these times, the fish are going to be hungry for that worm and they are going to bite it and I will then have caught them," as Matthew chuckled out loud to himself.

 

Anna and her brother Matthew had gone for a walk in the back acreage of their farm.  They had a small pond there that Matthew would often fined himself leisurely sitting on the banks with his fishing pole just waiting for that special catch.

Anna could have cared less about fishing.  That wasn't her idea of having fun.  "Who wants to sit quietly not making a move just waiting for that one bite?  It sure seems like a boring way to spend time to me, " thought Anna.

 

Anna was having fun with what she was doing to keep herself occupied while Matthew was waiting for that bite.   Anna would watch the small wild animals, like the jack rabbit just frolicking around in the tall grass as if to say, catch mew if you can.

 

"Matthew, why do you like to fish so much?" said Anna.  "You just sit there still for so long.  I would go crazy if I did that for hours on end like you do," as Anna shuffled her feet in the tall grass.

 

"Oh Anna, please do be quiet, this is an art.  You have to be quiet, or you will scare the fish away," said Matthew.

 

"Matthew, do as you please.  I'm going to sit over on this rock," said Anna.  "If you don't don't hurry and catch some fish, I am going...

A suttle entry of a story here you craft in the lines... keep with the pen and continue to write these passages...

Cute story. On the other hand, fly fishing is a walking art form. Did you ever watch a Rainbow Trout stalk a fly? They never miss.
