Fishy Tale

A pond sits in the glen bright fish dashing about casting silvery shadows ducks chasing after them eels making their way to sea flying birds circling back and forth green frogs croaking for a mate herons gobbling them up in the depths a pike floats jutting out its pointed head keeping hidden as it prowls lurking between the rotting logs minnows swim by unharmed in shoals newts eagerly snapping them up out in the reeds lays up a catfish playing dead it patiently waits quick to react to its prey reaping the bounties little fry snack sticklebacks swim lazily through reed beds trout leaping catching fly's and midgets under the calm waters life abounds vivid rainbow trout spawn while the blue waters thrive xanthine filled plants floating yellowfin cutthroat trout dart by and zander perch fill a fisherman's net
