Eli can't wait to go fishing with his father. So he is in a hurry to do everything and set off for the river. When they get there, his father teaches him how to put a worm on the hook and to throw the line into the water and wait. Eli is so excited when he catches a fish, but in his haste, the slippery fish gets away. But in the end, this does not matter so much to him as being with his father whom he loves so much.
