One man in a boat
L.G. Alexander
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without
catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen
are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and
rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything ? not even old
boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always
go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing!” my
friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one
important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only
interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
