I threw some bait (饵) into the river. But I didn’t catch a fish. So I went to see my mom and dad. They didn’t catch anything, either. My dad said, “Let’s fish together. Maybe we’ll be lucky later.” I got my things and sat down with him and mom. We started to talk and I told them about the most interesting teacher at school.
