Mr. Turner likes fishing. It is his favorite sport. He often fishes for hours without catching anything. But this doesn't worry him. Some fishermen can't catch fish. Sometimes they catch old boots or rubbish. Mr. Turner is even worse than the fishermen. He never catches anything—not even old boots. After he spends the whole morning on the river, he always goes home with an empty bag.

"You must give up fishing!" his friends say. "It's a waste of time."

"But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all. It can make me forget the noise of the city and live quietly for some time," he always says to himself.
