阅读Fishing Can Be Dangerous

　　Old Peter liked fishing．Whenever he had any free time he drove into the countryside, found a good place to fish, and spent a few hours fishing．The problem was that most of the best places to fish were on private land, and Peter often had to pull his rod out of the water quickly and run off with it when the owner of the land came along．

　　One day he was sitting by a river that ran through a rich man's property when he fell asleep．

　　He was awakened by a voice saying, “You'll never catch anything using that bait．”

　　Peter looked up and saw a man standing behind him．

　　“What do you mean?”Peter said．“There's nothing wrong with this bait．I always use it．I've caught thirty fish with it today already．”

　　“How interesting!” the man said．“Do you know who I am?”

　　Peter shook his head．

　　“I'm the owner of this land．”

　　Peter thought very quickly．

　　“Do you know who I am?” he asked．

　　The man shook his head．

　　“I'm the biggest liar in the country,” Peter told him．

　　And with these words he pulled his line out of the water and ran off as fast as he could．
