The Little Fishermen

Now the pups learn to fish. Mama sits quietly beside the water, waiting. A tiny fish swims past — whoosh! — and she comes back up with it. The pups stare.

The adventurous brother tries and misses. The curious brother tries and misses too. The little sister watches very carefully. She waits. She dives. She misses. She tries again — and this time she catches one. Her brothers look at her in amazement.

Then everyone starts fishing at once, and the river fills with splashing pups while Papa watches from nearby. At the end of the day the family sits together on the riverbank eating their catch, and the little girl falls asleep against Mama.
