A ...  Early in the morning a Dog and an old man went fishing. The dog and the old man went fishing at the lake for some breakfast. The dog and the old man went into a little boat. The dog was so excited as he was looking down at the beautifully dark water. Suddenly the owner yanked the fishing hook into the water as the dog loudly steered with joy. 

Then he heard a loud splash on the boat. The thing that splashed out of nowhere was a tall and thin kind of bird. Suddenly the dog was shocked that it came on the boat, but why did it come on the boat?.  Then the bird slowly moved to the left side of the boat. The dog started barking and the old man quietly replied ssshhhh.  Finally the dog calmed down and sat on the boat floor.

 Suddenly a loud noise came from the left side of the boat. The noise was the bird that made the dog bark. The dog got angry at the bird because the bird was trying to steal some fish from the bucket that the dog and old man had already fished for. Suddenly the bird flew away back to its nest. The old man got angry at the dog so he got the dog to sit at the end of the boat.
