Paul Robinson liked fishing very much. In the summer he went out fishing every evening, and in the winter he fished on Saturdays and Sundays. His wife Joan did not see him very much. Then one day last summer Paul said to her, “I'm going to have two weeks’ holiday this year, and we’re going to go to Scotland and fish there.” “And what am I going to do?” said Joan. “You're going to fish with me.” Paul answered. They went to Scotland and fished there for two weeks. Then they came home, and Joan talked to her neighbour, Mrs. Andrews, about her fishing trip with her husband. “I did everything wrong on the trip,” she said to her. “I talked loudly in the boat and the fish were afraid.
