3. To Eric My book buddy pal.

4. One day, there was a kid named Mike. He woke up at 7 o’clock and got dressed.

5. He went down to the kitchen to eat breakfast. His mom gave him bacon and eggs.

6. After breakfast, he went up to his room to watch television. His mom soon came up to ask him if he wants to go fishing.

7. Mike said “Yes.” He was excited to go fishing.

8. When Mike agreed to this he got all of his fishing gear packed and was ready to go. He and his mom got in the car.

9. They arrived at the pier and got out of the car. Mike quickly got his gear and started for a good spot. He started fishing and he felt a tug.

10. The fish got away and Mike was very sad, but a great big huge fish caught the line. Mike was so excited.

11. He had to pull up the fish, and it was hard. He was strong enough to pull the thing out of the ocean. He was so happy and told his mom about it.

12. He also caught a few more fish. They were a bit small though, but he was proud of himself. Mike had a great time, and his family went home.

13. When Mike got home, he and his family battered and ate the fish. It was very delicious, and Mike loved it. He and his family lived happily ever after.
