By the river, when the dog saw a bird, he wanted to run after it and tried to catch it. “All the fish are frightened and swim away,” said David. “Be quiet! Tony,” Jack shouted at him. But Tony didn’t listen to him. “Next time, I will not bring him here again,” said Jack. “Wait!” said David. “A fish is biting my line.” “Look out!” shouted Jack. But it was too late.
