I pulled in my line and mentioned to the mother that one of her darling daughters was in the drink. She looked up and saw two figures struggling in the water. We both noticed that one of the two swimmers had scrambled up onto shore while the other one still seemed to be in serious trouble. The mother and I began to pull water, moving our canoe as fast as we could. And with that, the mother carefully put down her paddle, picked up her fishing rod and took a cast.
Fishing is a lifestyle choice after all.
