said Grandpa Grizzly. He pulled
out four new fishing poles for the
Hoppers.

“We’ll go fishing!” cried the Hoppers.


“Thank you, Grandpa Grizzly.”

be very quiet so you don’t scare
the fish.”

Grandpa Grizzly leapt bravely back


into the chilly river. He found

bottom. Then he handed it to
Snubby Nose before getting out
of the water.

“My hook is caught on something,”
said Snubby Nose.

“Something is pulling on the line,”


said Speedy Legs.

“It’s wriggling around,” said Fluffy


Tail.

“It’s bending your pole!” said Floppy

biggest fish they had ever seen.

“Let’s go into our tent and have a fish


dinner,” said Grandpa Grizzly. All
the Hoppers went into the tent, dried

went camping and fished for five
days. And Grandpa Grizzly was the
only one who caught a cold.
