Topic Fishing
Orientation Yesterday I was going to a lake for fishing. It was a nice time
because I had no work to do.
Record of (1) I woke up earlier in the morning, and then I went to the
marketplace to buy some shrimps I would use for the fishing bait. After
Events that, I went to the lake to start fishing.
(2) At the lake, I looked for the best point to fish. I went to the place under a
big tree at the bank of the lake.
(3) I threw my hook as far as I could, and then I waited for the fish eating my
bait. After about a thirty-minute waiting, I felt that a fish ate my bait, and it
was true. I got a big fish. It was the first big enough fish I got in fishing. I got
ten big fish and three small fish that day. I was very happy.
(4) I would cook those fish at home and then I would call my friends to come
to my house. We would have a small party.
(5) But I was not lucky enough because on the way home, I met a
beggar. He was an old poor beggar. I gave all of my fish to him and I wish he
would be happy getting those fish. Perhaps, he could sell them at the market
and got some money to buy some food.
Reorientation Although I had no more fish after that, I was quite happy because I
could help people.
