Hi Diary,
I‟ve just had the worst day ever! It all began at morning
break. This horrible boy came over and pushed me for no reason.

preparing to go home in despair when suddenly his rod moved. He pulled it and a big golden fish

for dinner”, the fisherman said.

side peacefully. One day a fisherman caught a fat fish and took it home. He gave it to his wife

tonight”. However, the fisherman‟s wife wondered how to cook it because it had hard scales.
