We Go Fishing

I am an English girl. My name is Mary Brown. When I was a little girl, I had a little sister. She was smaller than I. And she was very naughty.

I want to tell you some stories about my naugh­ty little sister. Here is the first story.

One day, when my little sister was four years old, some children came to our house. They all had fishing-nets.

" Mary, let's go fishing, " they said to me.

" May I go fishing? " I asked my mother.

" Yes, you may, " said my mother.

And she gave me a fishing-net, some bread and butter and a bottle of milk.

Then my naughty little sister said: " I want to go! I want to go, too! "

" You may go, Nancy, " said my mother to my little sister. " But you can't catch fish. You must not go into the water."

So she did not give my sister a fishing-net. But my sister liked to pick up little stones, and my mother gave her a little bag to put them in. Then she gave her some bread and butter and a little bottle of milk and a big apple, too.

" Nancy must not go into the water. You must look after her, " my mother said to her.

" All right, Mother, " I said. We went to the little river. Then my friends and I took off our shoes and socks and went into the water to fish with our fishing-nets. It was sum­mer, and the water was warm.

We fished and fished, but we did not catch any fish. Then one boy said:

" Look, your sister is in the water." We saw my naughty little sister in the water with her shoes and socks on.

I wanted to catch her, but she ran away and fell down in the water. Her dress was wet, her hair was wet, and her shoes and socks were wet, too.

We took off her wet things and put them all on the grass to dry. My sister began to cry.

We gave her some bread and butter, and she ate it all up. She ate up all her bread and butter and all my bread and butter. She drank her milk and my milk, too. Then she ate her apple.

When her dress and her shoes and socks were dry, she put them on and we went home. At supper I did not get any cake. Mother said:

" Only bread and butter for you. You did not look after your sister very well."

So I got only bread and butter.

My sister went to bed, and my mother gave her some hot milk.

But do you know what my mother found in the little bag?

She found a fish! Yes, a little fish!

" Look! " said my mother. " Your little sister caught a fish with her little bag."
