9、a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because “Im not a fish!” I didnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, “How could what I think influence what a fish does?”As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read so

10、me books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.
