A Big Fish
By

Hi.
I'm Alec Minnick. I'm almost 12, and I'm going to tell
you a great and majestic storie. It all started when
I was 9...
I
was fishing with my Dad (Theo), Brother (Tyler), and Grandpa
(Papa). We were in the middle of a great fishing spot called
Rosvalley Lake. We really didn't care what we'd catch.
All we wanted were some fish. So, after about 4 hours of
nothing, not even a ripple in the water, we were about
ready to row our boat back to shore, when my Papa's fishing
rod started moving. We had got a bite! But, not just any
bite, I mean "WOW" this was a big fish! It yanked and pulled
on the rod. Back and forth, back and forth. When suddenly,
my Papa was pulled into the water! The fish had pulled
him to his mouth, and swallowed him whole! Then, suddenly,
our boat topsized! Every thing went black... I slowly opened
my eyes. I was in the car, and there was my brother, Tyler,
pushing me around in my seat. "Alec! Alec! We're here!
We're at the lake!" he wispered. I stood up, shivering
in wonder. I asked Tyler, "Hey man, what about the fish?
He ate Papa!" "Hey scout, you fell asleep the whole way
here!" said my Papa. Wow, I thought, It must have been
a dream! When we got to the lake, We got out in our boat
and casted out. I reeled in something... ...A fish!
It was about the size of my hand, a tiny little sucker!
I looked at him up close, and heard something. A small,
tiny voice said, "Help me, there's a huge fish chasing
me! He ate my Grandpa! Please, help me!"
After
that, I never went fishing again... A
