I got my oak fishing rod with a fine string and a stick crossing horizantily near the bottom. I went to the Abbey pond where I saw it. Through the clear waters of the pond I saw the myriad scales of the humongus, fat, rare, suculent rainbow flounder! Its scales were all the colors of the rainbow and it hade a taste like strawberries, blackberries, elderberries, cherries, apples, sugar, chocolate and vanilla, it was the rarest and tastiest fish in the world! I was prepared to catch it. I got out my bait, the most horrible thing any dibbun has ever seen, SOAP!!!!!!!!!! Then I cast my line and waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . untill finally . . . I got a bite! It could only be the rainbow flounder, it was the only fish who likes to eat soap. The rainbow flounder is very fast, if you don't tug hard and fast when you first feel something it will get away, so I pulled hard and fast, hands locked on my crossing stick. It tugged and strugled and I pulled and pulled. Suddenly, I felt pulled off the bank, the muddy bank was giving way and the rainbow flounder pulled me under! I held on tight as I held my breath and kicked with my feet, around the pond I went, round and round and round and round untill it stood still, I was very dizzy and I needed to take a breath of air. I pulled upward and stuck my head out and started to take a breath when the fish jerked and I was pulled under again. When he started to go around in circles I stuck my head out again and took a deep breath and then I saw it, a fern sticking out of the bank! I grabbed onto it and pulled myself up. The fish was still tugging, but weaker now, and I hauled it in and it was served that evening for the feast.
