Good Catch

“I got one!” Frank yelled, pulling back against his line. Bernie rushed over, green eyes wide. Just when they were about to give up for the night. The sun was setting fast, giving the ice a pink glow.

“Is it big?” Bernie’s fur coat hung off his frame. They hadn’t caught anything edible in two days.

“I think so, my boy!”

Frank pulled up the line. A large trout flailed in the air.

They took their catch home, singing songs. Unaware of the treasure they’d found.
This trout had swallowed a diamond ring. The two would never go hungry again.
