“If there’s any big trout caught I expect to be the one to do it,” said George very pompously.
“Huh,” snorted Fred disgustedly, “you couldn’t catch cold.”
“You just wait and see,” muttered George under his breath.
“Do you know anything about trout fishing?” insisted Fred.
“I never did any in my life.”
“And you expect to catch a big trout?” said Fred derisively. “Why, Pop, you’re sort of out of your head, aren’t you?”
“Wait and see,” repeated George confidently.
“Do you know how hard it is to cast a trout fly when you’re standing in the middle of a clump of bushes and the branches of trees are in your way all around you?” continued Fred. “Don’t you know that it takes almost years of practice to do it so that you are accurate and don’t catch your hook on everything in sight?”
“Wait and see,” insisted George. “I have a new system.”
“Ha! ha! ha!” laughed Fred. “You’re a joke.”
