When Daniel awoke, the sun was just beginning to rise and the waves were gently falling upon the shore. The morning was a lovely one and it was chilly and fresh from the sea. This day had been very much on Daniel's mind all week as his father had said he would take him fishing.
His father called out from the outside, “Daniel, are you ready?”
“Yes, Dad!” Daniel shouted excitedly.
Daniel hastily dressed and hurried outdoors. His father was with them in their small wooden boat, holding a fishing net, hooks, and a fishing basket. They walked together towards the sea shore.
Upon arrival, beach was already occupied. A few fishermen were readying their boats and others were hauling their nets. Birds soared overhead, looking for food.
Daniel watched all this with excitement.
“Dad, do you think we’ll catch a lot of fish today?” he asked.
His father smiled. “Let us be patient and attentive, and we shall catch some.”
They launched their boat and got on board. His father rowed further away from the shore, holding the fishing net. Daniel felt peaceful as the boat gently moved.
In a few minutes, his father ceased paddling.
Now Daniel, throw the net for me," said the old man.
His father spread the net out across the water and Daniel carefully helped him. They waited quietly. Five minutes went by, and then ten minutes. Nothing happened.
Perhaps the fish aren't here,” Daniel said sadly.
“Always take your time,” responded his father. “Fishing is a lesson in patience.”
The wait was a little longer. Then the net started to move.
“Dad! “There's something in the net pulling me!” Daniel shouted.
His father quickly grabbed the rope. They pulled together with their might. After some time, they noticed that there were a few silver fish in the net trying to struggle.
Daniel ran out and leapt for joy.
“We caught fish!”
Yes, we did,” his father laughed.
They put their fish gently in their basket and then they threw the net once more. This time they caught even more fish.
Then the sun grew hot and at the end of a few hours they set off for the shore again. Daniel was tired but was very happy.
When they arrived at the beach, Daniel saw a plastic bottle in the water near the beach. He picked it up and threw it in a nearby garbage receptacle.
His father nodded with pride. That's good, the sea provides us food, we must protect the sea too.”
Daniel gazed at the enchanting blue water, and he knew what his father was referring to. The sea was not only a place for fishing, it was also a home of a variety of animals and plants.
Upon their return to their home, Daniel's mother was very happy to see them. She was amazed to see the big basket of fish.
“What was a good fishing day,” she said.
Daniel smiled. Yes mum, but I learned something else more important than catching fish.
“What did you learn?” she asked her students.
I learnt that patience indeed brings rewards, and that the sea is to be protected for our sustenance.
His father looked pleased with himself.
As Daniel was watching the setting sun over the sea, he realized that he would never forget his day fishing by the sea shore.
