87 Fishing

Henry likes fishing. He fishes in the river near our house. In the evenings he makes lies"out of little pieces of wool and cotton and ties them to his hooks. Then on Saturday afternoon he goes down to the river and fishes until it is dark. There are always a few other people there. They love fishing too, and they all sit there quietly for hours. Sometimes they catch some fish. Sometimes they do not.

Once Henry caught a big fish and he was very happy! All the other fishermen left their places and came to see his fish. One of them had a camera, so he took a picture of Henry with his big fish. Another time Henry fell into the river. The grass was slippery because there was some mud on it, and while he was pulling his line in, he slipped and fell into the dirty water. Henry does not swim, but the two nearest fishermen pulled him out quickly, and he ran home, with mud all over his face.

釣 魚

亨利喜歡釣魚。他在我們家附近的小河里釣魚。晚上，他用小團(tuán)羊毛和棉花系在釣鉤上做成“小蟲子”。然后，星期六的下午，他就去河邊釣魚，一直釣到天黑。那里一直還有其他一些人。他們也喜歡釣魚，他們都在那里安靜地坐上好幾個小時。有時他們會釣到一些魚，但有時什么也釣不到。

有一次，亨利釣到了一條大魚，他非常高興！所有其他釣魚的人都跑過來看他的魚。他們中有人有照相機，所以他給亨利和他的魚照了張相。還有一次，亨利掉進(jìn)了河里。因為草上有泥漿，很滑，當(dāng)他收線時，他滑倒在臟水里。亨利不會游泳，但離他最近的兩個釣魚者很快把他拉了出來，他跑回家，滿臉都是泥巴。
