I remember my first fishing trip 37 it were but yesterday. I have been happy many times in my life, but never more strongly than when I received that first fishing-pole from my uncle’s hand, and started off with him 38 the woods and meadows.

My uncle, who knew by long 39 where were the best places of pickerel(梭鱼), considerately placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line 40 I had so often seen others, and waited 41 for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle.
