     One Sunday morning John was crossing a bridge. He saw a fisherman on the bank of a river under him.

fisherman took it off the hook and threw it back into the water. Then he put his hook and line into the water

again. After a few more minutes he caught another big fish. Again he threw it back into the river. Then, the

third time, he caught a small fish, He put it into his basket and started to get ready to go. John was so
