Lesson 20 One Man in a Boat
Why is fishing the writer's favourite sport?
Fishing is my favourite sport.
I often fish for hours without catching anything.
But this does not worry me.
Some fishermen are unlucky.
Instead of catching fish,
they catch old boots and rubbish.
I am even less lucky.
I never catch anything -- not even old boots.
After having spent whole mornings on the river,
I always go home with an empty bag.
'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.'
But they don't realize one important thing.
I'm not really interested in fishing.
I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
