Raven Stole the Moon
“Some of the bigger kids had fishing poles and could cast out, away from the dock. Those kids caught a few. But Bobby was still too young for a fishing pole. He had a spool of fishing line with a hook on the end, and he hadn’t caught a fish all week. He constantly pleaded with his parents to get him a real fishing pole when he got bigger so he could finally catch something.
But on the next to last night, Bobby’s luck turned. A bigger kid helped him out by tying a silver lure to his line. He told Bobby that the flickering of the lure would attract the fish. And sure enough, it did. Bobby got a bite and pulled and tugged at the line, trying to reel in the fish, but the fish was strong. The older kid who gave Bobby the lure had to take over. The older kid overpowered the fish and hauled up Bobby’s catch, a giant flounder that was almost as big as Bobby.
The commotion on the dock was huge. Everyone cheering and chattering, all the parents coming down from the community house, Bobby, with a... grin from ear to ear, at the center of all the attention.MoreLess
