{Gone Fishing}

We went to the river one fine afternoon.

Dad went fishing.

Anika and I went to a nice part of the river that was gently flowing. Anika loved to play in the water and I tried to teach her how to skip stones. She gave it a good go, but soon discovered it was more exciting to make a big splash with the stones.

Because Dad was fishing, Anika made a pool for the fish Dad caught to go into it. She thought that the pool was just right for her and there was no fish yet.

Anika saw Dad fishing back down the river, so she was keen to go see him. No fish this day.
