On the other side of the stream, He Ping had caught several fish, one of which was very big.

　　How comes it that you catch fish casily while it is so difficult for me? I asked.

　　After a while the floats were swinging. I kept my breath and waked. The floats became still again. Come on my hook, dear fish. I was saying to myself. In a moment the floats swang again and then sank abruptly, Just at that moment I lifted my fishing rod. To my delight I caught a fish. Grlnning, I took it off the hook.
