bright sunny day. No clouds are in the sky; Robbie and his two
friends are going fishing. Suresh and Jasoril are waiting.
Robbie runs out of the door. In his head, he hears the words his
mother says to him as a warning. Robbie forgets his mother's words
when he meets his friends. The boys set off down the road. They
soon get to the river. They cast their rods in the water.
After two hours, there is no fish in their bucket. The boys become
hot. They want to take a swim. Robbie jumps into the water with his
clothes on. Oh my! Now he is in big trouble.
