The End often heralds the beginning

The trip!

The most exciting day of my life…

The last weekend was the most memorable day of my life. We had planned a fishing getaway and we could not wait for the day to arrive. A little prior to the event, my father had taken us to Decathalon, and bought us our first ever fishing rods.

I was overwhelmed with joy and pride to own my first fishing rod and was eager to set forth on our adventure trip. The day was Sunday and my mother woke us up early in the morning. My brother began to cry but I was too excited to sit still until my mother gave me an angry glare an threatened to keep me home and make me complete my homework.

We had chosen a nearby lake for our fishing expedition. My dad helped me put the nibbles on the rod and taught  me how to swing the rod and catch a juicy fish as my kill.

At first, I could not wait to get my first catch but very soon I realised that this was no mean feat and I began to feel bored. The mosquitoes were also bothering me.

But when I looked at my dad I realised that I needed to have a lot of dedication. Within the next 1 hour I got my first catch. It was the best moment of my life.
