The tale of mr. Jeremy Fisher
by BEATRIX POTTER
(1906)

--------------------------------------------------------

-- A damp little house --

Once upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a little damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.

-- Good place for minnows --

"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my dinner," said Mr. Jeremy Fisher
"I know a good place for minnows".

-- A butterfly sandwich --

The rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at the float.
"This is getting tiresome, I think I should like some lunch," said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.

-- Jack Sharp the Stickleback --

"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher, jerking up his rod.
But what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy landed little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!

-- Ker-pflop-p-p-p! -Ow! Ow! Ow! --

A great big enormous trout came up — ker-pflop-p-p-p! with a splash — and it seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" — and then it turned and dived down to the bottom of the pond!

-- Spatting the raincoat --

But the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in less than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it swallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.

-- Like the bubbles out of a soda --

Mr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the bubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the edge of the pond.

-- I will never fish again --

"What a mercy that was not a pike!" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. "I have lost my rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I should never have dared to go fishing again!"
