Schools' Out, Let's Go Fishing
Fishing is the only thing to do on a no-school day. It's time to hang out by the water with the aim of catching our our swimming friends.
We learn to cast both a reel rod and a "Huck Finn" pole. We wait patiently along the river wishing for fish. We sit by the shore enjoying friends and nothing else to do on a lazy day without school.
