Analysis of Summer & Billy lake fishing



Summer & Billy went fishing one day in the middle of

May. Boat drifting so calm, first bite was quick,

brought in a Crappi, then a big catfish. Summer was

pleased with the luck she found this warm lovely

evening in May. Then behind her a splash, what was

that, a big fish surely jumping around! But as she

turned to see the big fish, it was Billy the Rat

(terrier)not a big cat! He had jumped off the boat to

explore, taking weeds & algae abound. Summer jumped in

the yucky brown-yellow marsh shoes, cell phone & all.

Grabbing for Bill as he paddled to the hill, he ran in

circles when he hit solid ground, Summer too, yelling

BILLY, BILLY, DOWN! Finally giving in, he let himself

be caught & put back in the boat. Both just glad to be

back afloat. Well the fishing was over as Bill was

a-shake & Summer c-c cold as well. So with Bill wrapped

in towels & sun dropping low they headed back for the

dock. Summer glad to have Bill in her arms & holding

him close to her heart.
