Timmy the Fisherboy

One day, Timmy and his dad went fishing really early in the morning.

Timmy’s dad told him that he was going to teach him everything about
fishing and to make him his assistant. It took them over an hour to reach
their destination, and Timmy’s dad was telling him everything about
fishing the whole way. When they got there, Timmy’s dad asked him to
bring the bait from the car and showed him what each type of bait was

used for. Timmy helped his dad remove the fish they caught from the
hook and put them into the bucket. By the end of the day, Timmy knew
everything about fishing and was ready to assist

his dad every time.
