Our first fishing trip of the summer was a memorable affair. My brother Paul and I got up at dawn and packed our fishing equipment .The
sun was shining and the sea was calm when we climbed into the little motor boat tied to the quayside. We knew that we wouldnt be able to go back
in again until the evening high-tide, so we had prepared a picnic and taken some bottles of drink.
As soon as we reached the point, we stopped the engine and got out our fishing lines. We were beginning to get bored, things started to move
a bit further out to sea. That was when things started to go wrong. As we were getting the lines ready again, Peter stood on a fishing hook and got it
stuck in his foot. When he sat down with a bump, the boat started to rock violently and the picnic basket fell overboard. Peter asked me to get the
hook out of his foot, so I fiddled with it in vain until he cried out to me to stop because of the pain. Poor Peter was very shaken and he lay on his back
in the bottom of the boat until he felt better.
