A last laugh tale of two old friends, their teeth and a fishing trip that leaves them lost for words.
Teaching Ideas
- Write the story from the point of view of each man.
- Decide what each man is saying to each other and create a dialogue.
- Write an alternative ending - perhaps one of them catches another fish, one fisherman may fall overboard in the excitement.
- Write the story as a recollection from one of the old men's point of view. As if the episode happened a long time ago.
