When I was
five years old, I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I
really wanted to catch a fish! But they were not biting. I stayed in my boat
for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the
line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old
bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I
felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong that my boat
raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing
rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the
earth! It was heavier than everyone in this room put together! Then something
terrible happened! After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the
boat was going under water! Water was coming into the boat from all sides! I
was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.
Although
it was the hardest choice I ever made, I had to let the fish go. I pushed it
back over the side of the boat, and we waved good-bye to each other as it swam
away.
