It’s my favorite spot.” Lucas swam closer. “Can you teach me how to fish?” “Sure,” Zoe laughed. “But Cody has to promise not to scare the fish away!” For the next hour, Zoe showed Lucas how to cast a line and wait patiently. Cody tried to “help” by barking at every ripple, making them laugh until their sides hurt. Suddenly, Zoe’s fishing rod bent. “I’ve got something!” she exclaimed.
