Mr. Hill opened a new fish store in North Street. On a sunny afternoon David went into the store. Mr. Hill was happy to meet him.
David picked up a fish, and after looking it over, he held it up to his nose and smelled" Hey!" cried Mr. Hill, " Why do you smell that fish? Do you think it has gone bad? I didn't smell it," answered David.
"Then what were you doing with your face so close to the fish?" asked Mr. Hill" I wasn't smelling the fish. I was only talking to it, "answered David.
"Talking to it?" said Mr. Hill," why, what on earth did you say to it?" "I asked him if there was any news from the sea. That's all."
"Well, what did the fish say?" asked Mr. Hill.
"He said he didn't know the latest news,because he was away from the sea for over two weeks."
