"I've got one," called Tom next, at the same moment pulling his line and bringing up a pretty little sunfish. Now "sunnies" are not considered good eating, so Tom's catch did not come up to Bert's, but it was put in the basket just the same. "I'm going out on the springboard," August Stout announced, stepping cautiously out on the board from which good swimmers dived.
Then Bunny brought out his fishing line and pole, baited the hook with some worms he had dug, and began to fish. "You won't get any fish here," said Tom. "There are too many boats around. I can take you to a place where there are some good perch and sunnies." "No, I want to fish here," said Bunny. "It's easy to catch fish where everybody else can. I want to try in a hard place."
There's some pretty big sunnies, and a couple o' nice perch." "Sure you don't want them?" asked Bert. "No. I'd be glad to give 'em to you. And here's some grasshoppers I didn't use. They'll be good to fish with to-morrow." "Thanks," said Bert, as he took the tin box Will held out. Inside could be heard a queer little "ticking" noise, as the grasshoppers leaped up against the cover.
