1) | Paul Robinson liked fishing very much. |
2) | In the summer he went out fishing every evening, |
3) | and in the winter he fished on Saturdays and Sundays. |
4) | His wife Joan did not see him very much. |
5) | Then one day last summer Paul said to her, |
6) | "I'm going to have two weeks' holiday this year, |
7) | and we're going to go to Scotland and fish there." |
8) | "And what am I going to do?" said Joan. |
9) | "You're going to fish with me," Paul answered. |
10) | They went to Scotland |
11) | and fished there for two weeks. |
12) | Then they came home, |
13) | and Joan talked to her neighbor, Mrs. Andrews, |
14) | about her fishing trip |
15) | with her husband. |
16) | "I did everything wrong on the trip," |
17) | she said to her. |
18) | "I talked loudly in the boat |
19) | and the fish were afraid. |
20) | I put the wrong things on my hook, |
21) | I pulled my line in very quickly … |
22) | and I caught a lot more fish than Paul did." |
