Grandma took Abby fishing at the lake. Abby swung her fishing pole, but her line didn’t drop into

the water. “Where did it go?” Abby asked.

Grandma pointed to a tree. “If you want to catch dinner for us,” Grandma said, “you have to

get your line in the lake first.”

Grandma took hook from the tree. Abby swung her fishing pole again. She smiled when her

hook hit the water.

“I caught a fish!” shouted Abby. She reeled in her line, but her hook was full of grass.

Grandma removed the grass and put a worm on the hook. Abby swung her fishing pole again.

“If you want to catch dinner for us,” Grandma said, “you have to be quiet so you don’t scare

the fish away.”

“I caught a fish!” Abby shouted. This time when she reeled in her line, an old tin can hung

from her hook.

Grandma removed the tin can and put another worm on the hook. Abby swung her fishing

pole again.

“Now you' re going to catch dinner for us,” Grandma said.

“I caught a fish! A BIG fish!” Abby shouted. She struggled to pull in someone’s boot.
