The boy caught his first fish of the year, today - a tasty 45cm pike. We caught it at Bluffer's Park, in the waters surrounding the yacht club.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
