Henry's Summer Story

This summer I fished and worked. I fished with Doug Horn. It went well with him. But he did not pay me well so I had to work at the Co-op fishery. I earned more money from working there than fishing. Then I went out hunting with the Horns where I caught a lot of birds like geese, swans, and ducks.

I also helped out my parents for subsistence food. I caught a than at the Co-op fishery. I earned more money from working there fishing. Then I went out hunting with the Horns where caught a lot of birds like geese, swans, and ducksI also helped out my parents for subsistence food. I caught a lot of fish for dryfish and strips. But I caught more king salmon for our family and Doug's family. That is what they like to eat. Then I caught a big beluga whale and gave it to all my family. Then I moved to my dad's camp to fish. We had a good season fishing with my dad.

I also did a lot of traveling to villages like Marshall, St. Mary's, Mountain Village, Kotlik and Bethel. Then it got boring traveling so I stayed home with my cousin Wilson Horn and played cards with him all day. We both won money from 3 card games. We played different kinds of games called cribbage, 3 cards, poker and 21. Then it got boring so I stayed home and helped my dad and mom do things around the house. That is all I did for the whole summer.
