Once upon a time
there was a little boy who liked to go fishing.
See, there he goes, over there on the other page.

He went fishing every day.
But he never, no never, caught any fish.

He dug some worms and he put them in a can. He got the long tree limb that he called a fish pole.
He put the pole over his shoulder. And off he went.

He came to his favorite spot where he never caught any fish. He put a worm on the pin, and the pin in the water, and he waited—
And waited, and waited.

Then he saw a GREAT GREAT big fish. It swam around, and around, and around, and around, and around and around and around.
Like this.
