Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything.

But this does not worry me. Some fisherman are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.

But I'm even less lucky. I never catch anything, not even old boots.

After having spent whole mornings on the river. I always go home with an empty bag.

'You must give up fishing.' my friends say, 'It's a waste of time.'

But they don't realize an one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I'm only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all.

' Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "no parking"注意大写 area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.'
