"I caught a minnow!" Jeremy said.
He started to pull in his line.
But the hook was stuck on something!
The farmer was across the pond.
Suddenly his line jerked.
"A fish!" the farmer said.
He pulled in his line.
"Ahh!" Jeremy's rod flew into the air.
Jeremy flew with it.
"I didn't catch a minnow," Jeremy said.
"I caught a farmer!"
Jeremy let go of his fishing rod.
He fell down, down, down.
Plop!
Jeremy landed in the farmer's pail.
"Oh no!" Jeremy thought.
He sat very still.
The farmer looked at his line.
"Huh," he said.
"I did not catch a fish.
I caught a hook!"
Jeremy didn't move.
"The farmer must not see me!" he thought.
But Jeremy had another problem.
He was trapped in the pail!
