How a Boy Went Fishing
00:05
On the morning of Decoration Day, Harry declined attending the celebration with the family,
00:12
saying that he preferred to go fishing. Lots of other fellows were going.
00:17
So, Harry gathered up his fishing outfit, his gun, dinner pail, matches,
00:23
and an umbrella for sultry sun or summer shower,
00:26
and set them outside the door while he hunted for a few angleworms.
00:32
The parents bade him goodbye to take care of himself and not go too far up the canyon,
00:38
for the walk home after pleasure is over is always a longer one than that of going.
00:43
When the parents and two youngest ones returned from the celebration that afternoon,
00:48
the good housekeeper had a nice, plain dinner ready.
00:51
The two children left in her care were asleep after their dinner,
00:54
and the house seemed peaceful and cool after the long ride and exercises in the open air.
01:01
Just before lamplight, Harry came home, all his trim outfit looking very dusty and out of order.
01:09
The umbrella was broken, the dinner pail dented and cover lost,
01:13
and his clothing both torn and dirty.
01:16
But Harry proudly showed a trout that he had brought home for mother's own supper
01:21
no one else must ask for a taste, or even accept a proffered portion,
01:26
or cast admiring glances that way.
01:30
The trout was about five inches long and had a peculiar, ragged appearance.
01:35
You see, explained Harry, the line got tangled after he swallowed the bait,
01:41
and I shot him for fear he'd get away.
01:44
There was no danger of that, said Harry's father.
01:48
The proud son now expressed a determination to,
01:52
make a fire and cook the trout.
01:55
Oh, Harry, don't make a fire tonight and heat the house.
01:58
The trout will do for breakfast.
02:00
Mother, the housekeeper might eat it herself.
02:03
Little bites.
02:05
Trout is tempting.
02:06
No, Harry.
02:07
She wouldn't do that.
02:09
Well then, mother, I'll dig a hole in the garden
02:12
and bury the fish to keep it cool all night.
02:15
Very well, said she.
02:17
And Harry spent half an hour in the garden,
02:20
then came in satisfied with the labors of the day.
02:24
Throwing himself upon the lounge,
02:26
he recounted the rambles he had made.
02:28
How encumbered he had been with so much luggage,
02:33
the loss of his ramrod,
02:35
then the theft of his dinner by a hungry dog,
02:37
and finally how blistered his feet were with so much walking.
02:43
But he had enjoyed himself.
02:45
Suddenly he asked,
02:47
Do you suppose cats or dogs could burrow under that box?
02:51
He rose, looked out of the window,
02:54
and spied a neighbor's dog sniffing at the fresh earth.
02:57
That roused him thoroughly,
02:59
and he forgot that he was tired.
03:02
The dog was chased for a block away.
03:04
The trout was dug up.
03:06
The protecting wrappers of paper, cloth, and leaves were removed.
03:10
A hot fire kindled,
03:12
and the trout put into the oven.
03:14
Baked trout, mother,
03:16
is a delicacy enjoyed by epicures.
03:18
Thank you, Harry.
03:21
But I'm afraid I can't eat it tonight.
03:24
Yes, you can.
03:26
I want you to know what a real fresh brook trout tastes like.
03:30
I'll practice on my flute while it bakes,
03:33
and call you when it is done.
03:35
You go walk in the garden.
03:36
She had not the heart to refuse his pleading smile,
03:41
and, glad also to get out of the warm kitchen,
03:44
she strayed into the front yard,
03:46
and oh, what a sight met her gaze.
03:50
Geraniums, verbenas,
03:52
and over there the strawberry bed,
03:54
turned upside down.
03:56
Holes and mounds of earth,
03:59
and lying crossways of a pansy bed,
04:01
a hoe and long-handled shovel.
04:03
What does it mean?
04:06
She asked the housekeeper,
04:08
who was just returning from an errand uptown.
04:11
He said it was searching for angleworms, ma'am.
04:15
Harry's mother re-entered the house
04:16
after a serious conflict with self,
04:19
whether to scold or not to scold,
04:22
and there was he upon the lounge fast asleep
04:24
after the weariness of the day.
04:27
She went to the oven.
04:28
The trout was done like a chip.
04:31
When Harry was awakened for bedtime,
04:34
he said,
04:35
Mother, I enjoyed your having that trout
04:37
more than though I had eaten it myself.
04:40
I know it, my son,
04:41
and now won't you eat some raspberry pie
04:44
and sweet milk,
04:45
for I am sure you must be faint?
04:47
Faint?
04:48
I'm starved.
04:50
Mother, I couldn't love you more
04:51
if you were an angel.
04:53
Harry concluded this declaration
04:56
with a rapturous hug
04:57
and turned with a boy's own appetite
04:59
to his tempting meal.
