i fish you fish

"What's this?" came the familiar voice of Kalyke. Beorn turned and then yelped and rushed forward in alarm as he caught sight of his little brother trying to grab the line. "Ooooh nonono," he cried with fluttering paws as he tried to wind the line up out of Kalyke's reach. He scooped a mound of it up and clutched it to his chest, his eyes darting between the two (slightly) younger boys. You know, Kore had a good idea. "Right..." Beorn said slowly as he peered over the tangle of line. "I can't show you if you eat it." He held out the tangle so the boys could see it. "This is fishing line. Dad got it from...somewhere, I dunno where." He set the line down and dug around in the mess for the hook. "And this is the fishing hook. Basically you gotta wiggle the hook around in the water until a fish eats it, then you pull it out of the water."

He glanced at the river and then made the decision to share all he knew with his brothers. It was a no brainer, really. Beorn liked to share both items and knowledge and he couldn't pass up this opportunity to do both, not when there was a chance his brothers would find the concept as interesting as he did!

"Come 'ere," he said as he marched towards the water's edge. "I'll show you. Dad made it sound super easy! I bet we can get lots of fish. Just gotta..." his features settled into a frown as he tried to untangle the line. Boy this thing was a mess! Line went every which way as Beorn made loops and straightened out sections, and then finally - finally - he got a big enough section free and decided to go for it.

With the fish hook hanging out of his mouth by a short piece of line, Beorn said, "Bayshickly ou juss troh da wine ike dis," he threw it out over the water and watched as the hook arced satisfyingly before splashing down a short distance away. The current immediately began to unwind the line at his paws. "And hold onto the line like this," he put both paws on part of the line so it wouldn't get away from him, and then crouched down over it. His voice dropped as though he thought the fish come hear him, "And you wait until you can feel a fish on the line."
