26、Taking a Child Fishing
There is nothing quite like seeing the smile on a young person’s face when they catch their fish. Here are some simple steps that can be taken to help children and parents enjoy these early fishing experiences.
【1】
It’s easier to teach young children to fish if your attention is towards them and not towards your own fishing. If you are also trying to fish, this can make that difficult for both of you. 【2】 When they need your help, you can hand down your tool and they can keep fishing.
Keep trips short.
Children have short attention periods. 【3】 Take this into consideration when planning a trip. When it stops being fun for them, it’s time to call it a day.
Bring plenty of snacks and drinks.
Even though most of these trips will be short, they will get hungry and thirsty. Bringing plenty of snacks and drinks gives them a little break from fishing. 【4】 You can use this time while they are eating or playing to do some fishing yourself.
Other than fishing.
Just because they are on a fishing trip doesn’t mean that they have to finish all the time. Let them do things besides fishing as long as it isn’t interfering (打扰) with the people fishing around you. 【5】
A stop on the way home for ice cream or other treats can also be a fun part of the trip. Remember it’s all about them having fun and hopefully wanting to go fishing with you again.
A.Let them help make choices.
B.Make the fishing trip about them.
C.Children love to feel like they are helping out.
D.This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.
E.The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.
F.One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool the child can use.
G.An hour or possibly two will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.
27、Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart.
One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8foothigh fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.
At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I'd love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but I have so many more bridges to build.”

28、Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to adapt to them.
