The Catch

It was a nice sunny day and a boy was catching fish for his village by a small pond that was drying up quickly. "Huh?" the boy said as he felt his line tug. The boy sighed as he realised it was just a small fish and he needed to feed his whole village.

Just as he was about to go back to his village, he heard a soft whimper as if an animal had hurt itself. There it was again, that soft whimper filled the boy with sadness. He saw that the fox was trapped in a hunters trap, sooner or later the hunter would come and see his catch. The boy's heart filled with grief as he thought about this poor fox being skinned  to be a rug. The boy put a determined look on his face but when he cut the rope to let the innocent fox free the fox bolted. The fox smelled the fish, and he dived  into the bowl and snatched up the fish.

 This fox was very fast and tricky to catch. It pounced on the boy once and did it again. The boy was so frustrated but the fox continue running away and wove through the trees and up mountains all the way to a gloomy and dusty field.

When the fog cleared there was a big open blue sea ,the boy looked at the sea and as the boy looked at the fox a splash came from the water! THERE WAS A BIG FISH! The boy was astonished at the amazing sight of the big fish.The boy got a stick and carved a rock into a hook. He caught fish all day long.

When it was  time to go he gave one of the little fish that he had caught to the fox. When the boy was out of sight the fox sat as still as a sculpture on a rock and faded into a spirit. 

THE END!
