Biggest Fish Lie--Perhaps.

Our guide listened with the
gravity of man who knew all
about fish stories, and finally he
knocked the ashes from his pipe
and told us story.
"Once, long ago." he said,
"there was terrible big trout up
in Smiths pool. Every fellow
who fished in the pool had hooked
him one time or other, but he
always got away, bit off The
snOOu OF something.
"I tried to catch him myself a
dozen times. One day | was sit.
ting by the pool, when splash, a
young robin fluttered out Of the
nest on a limb above the pool into
the water. In a minute there
was rush, gleam OF yellow
and the old trout had thrown
himself clear out of the water and
had swallowed the young robin

In a minute there was another
rush, another gleam OF yellow and
again the old trout jumped clear
out of the water as he swallowed
the robin and in minute more
had him hooked.

"Good to eat? Great Scott

That ended our fish stories for
that night.
