Fly· Fi·shing·

Bo·bby·: Hi· Ke·lly·, I· am· go·ing· fly· fi·shing· at· the· lake·. Come· with· me·.

Ke·lly·: I· don’t· eat· flies· Bo·bby·, take· a· frog· with· you·.

Bo·bby·: We· will· not· eat· flies· Ke·lly·.

Ke·lly·: Why· try· to· catch· flies· then·?

Bo·bby·: We· will· try· to· catch· fish· with· flies· on· hooks·.

Ke·lly·: That· was· my· con·fu·sion·. I· had· a· vi·sion· of· ca·tching· a· fly· with· a· fi·shing· line·. It· must· be· di·ffi·cult· to· get· the· fly· on· the· hook·.

Bo·bby·: No·! We· will· make· the· fly· on· the· hook· and· trick· the· fish· -  it· will· think· it· is· food· but· it· will· just· be· an· i·llu·sion·.

Ke·lly·: That· is· not· be·ing· ve·ry· nice· to· the· fish·, tri·cking· them· like· that·.

Bo·bby·: So·? It· is· not· nice· to· the· fish·, but· a· fish· is· nice· food·.
