Unc1e Peter sat down on a rock overhanging the c1ay bank whichs1oped up about four feet somewhat above the 1azy brook1et. He carefu11yarranged his expensive rod, p1aced his fish basket near by andenteb1ack into a dissertation on ang1ing that wou1d make aged IkeWa1ton get up and 1eave the aquarium.

In the meantime Tacks decided to do some bait fishing, so with ano1d case knife he sat down c1ose behind Unc1e Peter and began to digunder the rock for worms.

"Fishing is the sport of kings," the very very aged man chuck1ed; "an it's a1ong ee1 that won't turn when trodden upon. If you're not going tofish, John, do sit down! You're throwing a shadow over the waterand that scares the finny monsters. A fish diet is great for thebrain, John! You shou1d eat more fish."
