The Fish I Didn’t Catch

I still remember my first fishing trip as if it were but yesterday. It was a still, sweet day of early summer. I received the first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him towards the _____.

My uncle, who knew where the best hangouts of fish were, kindly placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and ____　 eagerly for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly the bait(鱼饵) went down out of sight. “Now for it,” I thought, “Here is a fish at last.”

I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds(一团海草). Again and again I cast out my line and drew it back ____. I looked at my uncle appealingly(可怜巴巴地). “Try once more,”　 he said, “We fishermen must have ____. It took me a whole day until I got my first fish.”

Suddenly something pulled hard at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Jerking it up, I saw a big fish wriggling(扭来扭去) in the sun. “Uncle!” I cried, looking back in uncontrollable ____, “I’ve got a fish!” “Not yet,” said my uncle. As he spoke, there was a plash(泼溅) in the water, my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost my ____. My patience was used up.

I sat down on the nearest stone and ____ to be comforted. Even my uncle promised that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, put the pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.

“But remember, boy,” he said, “Never show off catching a fish until he is on dry ground.”

Though years have now passed, I have always been reminded of the fish that I did not catch. When I hear people show off a work as yet undone, I call to mind that scene by the river, and the wise warning of my uncle, “It’s no use to talk too ____ about anything until it’s done.”

When I was 5 years old, I went to the USA with my mom. I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the USA.

On the morning of Halloween, we paid a visit to a pumpkin farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangle eyes and a scary mouth.

In the afternoon, we put on the Halloween costumes(服装) and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice, but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman’s clothes.

I did a lot of things that day, but my favorite part was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked at the door, my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to her, “Trick or treat.” My voice was very low, and even myself could hardly hear it. To my surprise, the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars, and I was so excited, thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn’t remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got—I got 91 pieces of candy that day, and I was so proud of myself.

What a happy Halloween I had! And I wish we could have a Halloween every month!
