The Surprise in the Lake

One sunny morning, Ben and his dad went fishing at a lake in the woods near their house. The air was clean and it was a little foggy. Many birds flew in the sky, and butterflies flew around the flowers.

Ben ran to the lake. The water was very clear. He looked down and could see some stones at the bottom.

"Dad! I think it's a huge fish!" shouted Ben.

Ben was a little bored, but he stood up and waited again. After a few minutes, he caught a fish! It was longer and bigger than his leg, and his dad had to help him lift it from the water.

"Well done, Ben!" Dad said.

They took a photo together. In the afternoon, they went home and cooked the fish for dinner.
