         When we was in England last year, I went fishing with my friend, Peter. Early in the morning we were sitting quiet by the side of a lake when we had an unpleasant surprise. We saw a duck come along with three ducklings paddling cheerfully behind her. As we watched them, there was a sudden swirl in the water. We caught a glimpse of the vicious jaws of a pike-a  fish which is rather like a freshwater shark-and one of the ducklings was dragged below the surface. This incident do Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. One three successive mornings we returned to the vicinity and used several different kinds of bait. On the three day Peter was lucky. Using an artificial frog as bait, he managed to hook the monster. There was a desperate fight but Peter was determined capturing the pike and he succeeded. When he had got it ashore and killed it, he weighed the fish and found that it scaled nearly thirty pound a record for that district.
