Catching the small, si
25、lver fish was a fun, refreshing opportunity to walk in cool, rushing water on a hot summers day. Girls as well as boys loved this outdoor activity.The joy of seining for minnows is that, once caught, the fish are thrown back into the water to continue their natural lives, perhaps to be scooped_up by
26、 other children and then returned again to their watery home. So the net is swiftly lowered back into the stream, and the small fish swim off.
