Last Sunday I went fishing on a lake near my house. ______ setting up my fishing rod (鱼杆) with bait (饵), I sat down on the bank of the lake and waited for my fish. When I felt the fish coming near, I got so excited and pulled the rod back in a hurry. But the fish were so ______ that they ran away quickly. Two hours had passed, I hadn't caught any fish. I got very angry and began to ______ my stuff (东西), preparing to go back home.
Just at the moment, I saw an old man who was sitting near me. I saw a bucket on a stone by the path. To my surprise, there were dozens of fish in his bucket. I went over to him, wanting to learn how he had caught ______.
“Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours,” he answered with a smile on his face. “Four hours?” I couldn't believe my ______. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “I usually sit here and catch fish like this. Don’t consider ______ a tiring sport. Just enjoy looking ______ the beautiful mountains and water while you are waiting for the fish.”
Suddenly, I understood what the old man was saying and learnt how to be patient. I thanked him and then I sat there for half the day, waiting for the fish ______. This time when I felt a fish touching the bait, I didn’t move. Instead, I waited for the right moment to pull it in. Surely I caught it. That ______ I took over 10 fish home.
