  2. Catching Trout

    Share Share Post
    When May comes the children start getting ready for the fishing season. First of all they have to get a clip for killing the trout. A clip is a piece of tin two feet long and one foot thick. Then they have to get a stick for poking under rocks. When they are all ready they go to the small streams.
