birds awoke, they'd tentatively practice the prologues totheir songs. We'd walk past the apple trees, and I couldsmell the sharpness of the rotten fruit that had droppedto the ground. Occasionally, I'd slip on a peel, so I learnedto be careful not to run too quickly. We'd walk past the
water troughs where the tadpoles were busy wigglingtheir way to frog hood and pick up the pond trail on theother side of the musty-smelling old barn. At this point Ihad to be careful not to get my pole tangled in theunderbrush--which constantly grabbed for my dangling
hook and bobber--while Uncle George's flashlight jumpedand weaved as he made sure the small circle of light wasset for my height. He would hold my hand and tell meabout the fish, and I was never scared.
