The Fishing Tree By: Emily Gudeman “ARRGG!” I screamed. Kendra started laughing. “Brandon!” she yelled. Brandon came jogging over with his fishing pole to see what the problem was. When he found out what had happened, he yelled, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!” “Nope,” I said. His face: . My face: . Kendra’s face: . We were at a fishing pond in the country near Eureka. It was going to be an awesome day, hot and sunny, and then of course this had to happen! I was with my brother Brandon & my sister Kendra, and there were also lots and lots of trees around! I was about ready to cast & my sister stopped me. “It’s much better to cast over your head.” Well, as I found out later, that is false in this location. I found it out the hard way. THE TREES WERE BEING MEAN TO ME!!! The stinking lure got stuck up in the very tip tops of the tree! Of coarse. AND…… There was poison ivy at the bottom of the stinking tree! So, Brandon decided to do something out of the ordinary. …show more content…
When he reached about halfway up the tree, he jumped onto the other tree that had the lure in it! Like, NO JOKE!!! It was scary. “WATCH OUT FOR THE DEAD BRANCH!!” I screamed frantically. When he was in mid-air: His face:. My face:. Kendra’s face:. . Whew! He made it! As he picked his way through that branches you could tell that he was scared of falling. “YOU HAVE BETTER BE CAREFUL!!!!!” I yelled in a worried
Next the big problem was that the plane ran out of fuel and it took a slight dive. The plane went into a glide and continued to descend. He spotted a lake and steered towards the lake. He wasn?t a good pilot and ended up in the trees instead of the lake were he originally wanted to go. ?There were great wrenching as the wings caught the pines at the side of the clearing and broke back, ripping back just outs...

Going to the Shedd Aquarium was such a fun and interesting experience. Now I can always remember going to the Shedd Aquarium with my sister because of the picture and the snow globe with dolphins in it that I got from the gift shop. We were lucky because we got the last dolphin snow globe the rest of them were sharks. This was a great way for my sister and I to spend time together and I really hope we can do it again
I knew that the only chance I would have it make this work would be to attack them once they were under the oak tree. I stopped walking and waited, until they walked right underneath the tree. To my luck they stopped walking under the tree, and I ran for them.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I was told in Sunday school that we are all God’s creatures, but if so then some are slithering snakes who engulf the timid skeletons of the meek mice in this world. You see, a swallowed mouse appears no different than a snake. Their hearts beat together, the mouse’s growing fainter with every gargled breath. I swear to you Father, I am a mouse, a simple mouse whose soul has been swallowed by the most gnarling of demons.
I want to begin this speech with a confession. I was going to just submit an assignment I wrote last year and call it done. However, I came across this story and knew I had so much more in me. One morning a little boy was walking along the beach, and he came to a part of the beach where thousands of starfish were washed up during a terrible storm the night before. Now he knew that the starfish would die if they were out of the water for too long.
After climbing the tree Scho found a place where several supple branches were knit to make a dangerous chair, and sat there with his head coming out of the leaves into the sunlight. He could see the other two boys down below, the ball going back and forth between them as if they were bowling on the grass, and Glennie’s crew-cut head looking like a sea urchin.
This weekend my family is going out to dinner to celebrate my mom's 43rd birthday. We plan on going to Granite City in St. Cloud. After my father shall drive us to our fishing spot for fishing opener. We will start fishing for catfish that are as slavish as earthworms. Walleye and Pike are not open until 12 at night, that is pretty late for me. We like to use shrimp for bait, expensive I know. At midnight we will start casting for Walleyes with rustic lures, Walleyes always seem to be intimidating us with their soul piercing eyes. Fatigue consumes us before that though, we are not late night people. Since our family has done so great at our fishing spot, therefore i'm not allowed to give away the spot so secret the FBI does
Now it would have been easy to find a tree that could get him high enough if it wasn’t pitch black outside. Ajit’s dad had taught him that to measure how tall a tree is you can use the trunk of the tree. If the trunk of the tree is wider than half the spear handle, than the tree is over 100 spear handles tall. Ajit went tree to tree trying to find the perfect one when he heard something moving in the bushes close to him. Nothing is visible, Ajit could only see the outline of figures, because of the pitch blackness of the night, with very little
“Do you think we’ll actually catch something today?” I said, as my grandfather and I walked down the wooden dock to the Chesapeake Bay.

Also, we ate at Yak & Yeti Restaurant and the ribs I had for lunch weren’t as good as Applebee’s ribs. In the afternoon, we rode Kali River Rapids which is a river ride and we all got wet, especially me because I was on the low side for the waterfall. Then, we rode Expedition Everest and I didn’t like it much because it went backwards fastly and then we got icecream. The next day, we went to Blizzard Beach which is a water park. We rode Teamboat springs which is a family ride, Cross Country Creek which is the lazy river, Snow Stormers, and Toboggan Racers. I order Barbecue Beef Brisket at the Avalanche and then our family ate a huge ice cream Sand Pail; you get a bucket filled with chocolate and vanilla soft-serve ice cream, and topped with waffle cone pieces, cookie pieces, sprinkles, hot fudge, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry. It is big and it is the best thing in the
Goopy flew into the air again, smacked against a tree and slid down the trunk.
I am not a very good fisher, and I don't necessarily like it a that much, to be honest it’s pretty boring, I don't know how fisherman do it. But sometimes me and my brother would fish, just to pass the time. Are parents were always hanging out with there friends on the beach— they were pretty much partying—.
