Fran's Class

There was a man name Joey and he loved to go fishing at Willow creek with the Best friend James Oney. They always used James Boat Because it was very fast. Joey always brought two fishing rods and a Box of fish bait and hooks and thick hook line Because There were Lot's of Big Pikes about 3 feet Long. There was a place were they Liked to catch Lot's of Pikes and They would stay until they caught Pike or until it was dark. Then they would go home to their shack and split the fish. Joey asked James if he wanted to go again and James said yup. Then They went home and went to bed. In the morning Joey called James and asked him if he was going and James said yes and that he'd Be right down. SO James went to the boat and waited for Joey who came down 10 min Later. Then they started the motor and went up the river to willow again. While they were on the river they saw a very big bull moose, and James yelled back "Holy cattle!" Then he ran into the tree's. As they were driving up Willow slough they smelled a very weird smell and James slowed down. When they went farther in they stopped and they saw a very Big thing in the trees. James asked what it was and Joey said it was a Black bear. Then Joey got his 30.06 and waited until it came out. It was a very Big Black and Joey told James to get the .357 out and help him kill the Beast. So James got his .357 and he and Joey shot at the bear. It dropped down to the ground Then James shot again and it died. Then after that they were so scared they never went fishing in willow slough.
