A plump boy kept jumping on the beach, trying to catch some fish but failing to get any. "This isn''t fun at all!" The plump boy named Tubby grabbed the fishing tools and threw them onto the sand angrily. He grabbed his father''s hand and wailed. "Why can''t our family catch any fish? What are you both doing? If this goes on, we won''t have any dinner. We might even be inst ce! Hurry up and think of something!"


    "What can we do, son? We''re not professional fishermen, so it''s only normal that we can''t catch any fish. Maybe there aren''t any fish here either. Don''t worry, we can get food from otherster." Glenn Bardot, Tubby''s father, was ratheridback about the whole thing.


    However, Cam Bardot, Tubby''s mother, became restless. She pinched Glenn. "How can you say that? The minute something bes tough, you immediately give up! No wonder our boy is alwaysgging." Cam looked around and was surprised to se Adie catching a lot offish nearby. Cam said to Tubby, "Look at that boy-he caught so many fish! Why can''t you catch fish like him?"


    "What''s the big deal? I just wasn''t being serious. If I am, I''ll catch more fish than him." Tubby was always greatly jealous of Adie, and his envy only grew when his motherpared him to Adie.


    While everyone was busy catching fish, Tubby ran to Adie and pointed at him. "Adie, are you catching fish alone? Where are your parents?"


    Adie was quietly waiting for an eel to leave its burrow. He looked up at Tubby with a re, then whispered, "Speak softer. Don''t scare away my eel."


    At that moment, Tubby noticed the eel slipping out of the stones. His eyes brightened and he quickly grabbed it. "It''s mine! I got i first."


    Adie was not a boy who admitted defeat easily. He had been waiting for the eel toe out for such a long time because he had wanted to grill it for his mother and sister that night. He couldn''t ept that Tubby had beaten him to it. "What do you mean it''s yours? It''s mine." Adie acted tough and said rationally, "I''ve been waiting here for around ten minutes and ced so much salt here to lure the eel out. Technically speaking, I caught it!" Then, he tried to snatch the eel away from Tubby.


    When Cam saw the two boys, she hurriedly rushed over and yelled at Adie fiercely, "Whose ill-mannered child is this? How could you snatch others''things?"


    "I''m not. I lured this eel out, so it should belong to me." Adie facen Cam calmly as he spoke, not letting the eel go.


    "I saw you snatching my son''s eel. You''re rude and you''re a liar! Where are your parents? Let gg!" Cam had long noticed that Adie''s parents weren''t around, and so she became even bolder. She felt it was easy for her to handle this kid without any adults around. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "Mommy, he has a mother but no father. That''s why he''s so rude!"m Tubby yelled eagerly, finally brave enough to bully Adie since his parents were here. Read thetest

    What did you say? Say that again, I dare you." Adie sneered coldly.
