The Hike
Gail and Sue like to
hike. Every year they
go to Bass Lake for a
week. They fill their
packs with all they will
need. Then they hike in
to the lake.
Bass Lake is a five
2
mile hike. It takes all
day to get there. But
Gail and Sue like the
hike. They like to see
the big pines and the
wide oaks.
When they go to
Bass Lake, they like to
go see Mr. Weeks. Mr.
Weeks has a log home
on the lake. His home
is at Deer Cove.

Bass Lake is a five mile hike.
4
Mr. Weeks is a nice
man. And Gail and Sue
like to hike to the cove
to see him.
When they get to
the lake, they are hot,
and their feet are sore.
So they like to wade in
the lake. It takes the
pain out of their sore
feet.

The Bass
When they got to the
lake, Gail got her pole
and the bait. “We can
get some bass and make
a meal,” said Gail. Sue
saw Gail toss her line in
the lake.
“I got a bite!” said
6
Gail. “I can feel it pull.
It is a big one!”
Sue ran to get the
net. When she got back
to the lake, she saw the
bass. “That is one fine
bass,” said Sue.
“That bass will make
one fine meal,” said
Gail. “Quick, get it
in the net.”
“If we go out in the

lake in a boat, we will
get some big bass,” said
Sue.
“We will have to hike
to Deer Cove to see
Mr. Weeks,” said Gail.
“He will let us use his
boat.”

A Big Day
Gail and Sue made a
fire. They ate the bass.
And they had some rice
and beans.
Gail and Sue like to
sit by the heat of the
fire. But it had been a
big day.
10
Gail and Sue like to sit by the heat of the fire.
11
“Time for bed,” said
Sue.
“I can use some
sleep,” said Gail. “We
can sleep till the sun is
up. Then we can go for
a hike. We can take the
road by the lake to Deer
Cove. And we can see
Mr. Weeks.”
“We can take the
poles with us,” said Sue.
12
“And we can go out in
the boat. I bet there are
some fine bass in Deer
Cove.”
Gail and Sue put out
the fire. Then they got
in their bags and went
to sleep.
