“You have a bite, Russ!” excitedly called Laddie.
“I know I have! Keep still or you’ll scare it away!”
Russ waited a moment longer. The cork went away under.
“Now I have him!” cried Russ.
He pulled up his line. On the hook was a good-sized fish which Russ landed back of him on the grass.
“Oh, I wish I could get one!” sighed Laddie enviously.
“Look at my cork! Look!” suddenly cried Mun Bun.
“He’s got a bite, too!” cried Laddie. “Pull in, Mun Bun! Pull in! I’ll help you!”
Laddie pulled out the little fellow’s line, and, surely enough, Mun Bun had caught a fish, not as large as the one Russ had landed, but still Mun Bun was much delighted.
“I wonder if I’ll get one?” sighed Laddie.
