"I think I'll try my luck in the shallow water," said Andrew. He picked up a circular net with weights around the edges. He waded to his knees and threw the net. It fell flat on the water and sank, trapping a small fish under it.
The others began to wash the nets, patiently picking out the seaweed and pebbles caught in them.
"Say! What's going on?" John pointed to a knot of people following a man who was walking along the beach.
"Probably some trader," remarked Simon.
"He looks more like a teacher to me," said John.
"Why not go over and see?" suggested Simon.
In a moment John came running back. "It is Jesus, the Galilean whom Andrew and I saw with John the Baptizer! Andrew! Andrew!" he called. "Come and see him, Simon. Come on!"
"I think I had better finish cleaning this net, John."
"But this man is a Prophet!"
"You go ahead if you want to." John gave Simon a disgusted look. When he turned toward the crowd of people, he noticed that they were moving toward him.
