With his crooked fishing pole, which was really only the branch of a hick- ory tree, and his can of big wiggly worths, he climbed out on a big stone in the old creek where he always fished. With his hook baited with the big- gest wiggly worm in the can, he wait- ed and waited for a fish to come along and bite it. But no fish cane, not even one nibbled it. "If I was only out an the next big stone," thought Bruin, "I could catch a big fish there. But it's farther than I can step. I'll just get a Iog and make a little bridge." So he climbed back to the shore, got a piece of an old log and placed it between the two stones. Soon he was out on the farthest stone where he could fish way out in the middle of the creek. Then, "Whee-ee-ee-ew." Down went his bobber with so much force that Bruin thought a whale was bit- ing his hook. He pulled and pulled on the pole. Oh, how hard he pulled! "Oh, ho, I have a big one this time. My, won't Roily Rabbit be surprised," said Bruin. "He'll snake a fine sup- per for us," and Bruin kept on pull- ing.
