The Fishing Derby
Luis leaped out of bed and yanked on his clothes.He had been impatient for this day all year - today was the Deer Lake Fishing Derby!Last year, other kids had caught fish and received prizes, but not Luis.Not one fish had nibbled on his line, and he had gone home disappointed.
But this year Luis was determined to win, and he had a secret plan-a plan that was so super-secret, he hadn't told a single soul, not even his dad.
"Hurry up, Luis!" Dad hollered. "We don't want to be late!"Dad perched a tall, white chef's hat on his head, his red apron flapping like a superhero's cape as he hurried to the car.Every year, Dad cooked hot dogs and hamburgers at the derby picnic.
At Deer Lake, it was a superb day for the fishing derby.There were so many kids, big and small, ready to fish.Would Luis's totally secret plan help him win a prize?
Police Chief Dugan was the announcer and would measure all the fish that the kids landed."Third prize is for the smallest fish," Chief Dugan announced over a bullhorn."Second prize is for the first fish caught, and the grand prize is for the biggest fish caught today.Good luck, kids, and no running with your fishing poles Ready, set ... GO!"
The Deer Lake Derby had begun!All the kids, except Luis, scrambled to the lake and began to fish.Luis walked along the water's edge, away from the noisy crowd, until he found a secluded spot where he could fish alone.
He put a fat worm on his hook, tossed it into the water, and waited.Most of the kids had crowded onto the fishing pier, their fishing lines crisscrossing and getting tangled in the water.
