One time I was in Florida

5 years old

I was fishing with my grandpa

We were at a lake

Mulch on the ground

So very humid

The summer pine trees

Something was on my line


It was heavy

I thought I caught a rock

But it pulled harder and harder

Thought I was going under

Until my grandpa helped me reel

As soon as we saw what I caught

We burst out laughing

I had caught a big white turtle


We let it go

We caught more fish

We went home

I’ll never forget that day 

The day I caught

A big white turtle
