Mr. Mouse was very fond of fishing. One fine day, as he was going fishing, Mrs. Mouse asked him, “How will you catch fish? You are so small. If you catch a fish, it will pull you into the river!” Mr. Mouse knew his wife was worried. But he just smiled and said, “Wait and see what I do.” Then off he went to the river. In the evening, he returned with a basket full of eatables. Mrs. Mouse was surprised. She had never seen him get so many things while fishing and asked, “Where did you get all these eatables?” “Fishing!” exclaimed Mr. Mouse with a grin. He had spent the day throwing his rod into the picnic baskets of the fishermen on the riverbank. While they had been waiting to catch fish, Mr. Mouse had been catching their lunch! Mrs. Mouse could not help laughing.
