Patrick and the Fishing Rod

Patrick the bobcat sits on the hilltop at sunset.

Patrick is sad. He is in a fishing contest with Ostrich, but he does not have a rod.

Fox runs to his pal on the hill. "Why are you sad, Patrick?" Fox asks.

"There was a mixup at the shop," says Patrick. "I do not have a rod for the fishing contest."

"I can help!" says Fox, as he runs off to inspect the hilltop for some things for his project.

Fox gets a long branch and some string from a nest. He links the string to the end of the branch.

The rod is now intact. Fox hands it to Patrick.

"Fox, you did it!" says Patrick. "How did you invent such a helpful object?" he asks.

"I did it all for you my friend!" says Fox.

Patrick hugs Fox. "Thank you, friend! Now I can be in the contest!""
