A Fish hook and The Riverboy
Author: Dandy Ahuruonye
Publisher: Dandy Ahuruonye
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
"Eamon cherished the tranquillity of fishing trips with his father. The gentle lapping of water against their boat, the soft rustle of wind through the reeds, and the occasional splash of a fish breaking the surface created a serene symphony. On this particular day, the sun cast a golden glow over the river as Eamon and his father, Hubert, prepared their fishing gear. Hubert, a seasoned fisherman, decided to try a new spot further down the river. They lowered a large, sturdy hook, hoping for a big catch. As they waited, Eamon's thoughts drifted to the stories his father told him about mysterious creatures in the river's depths. He never took them seriously, but today felt different. Suddenly, the line jerked violently. Hubert helped Eamon grab the rod, struggling to reel in whatever was on the other end. Eamon's heart raced with excitement and curiosity. As they pulled the line closer, they saw something thrashing in the water. It wasn't a fish, but a boy – a boy with a human face and a fish's body, caught on the hook by his jacket. Eamon and his father quickly freed the boy and brought him aboard. The boy, who introduced himself as Finn, was unlike anything they'd ever seen. He had scales that shimmered in the sunlight and fins that fluttered gently in the air. Despite his initial fear, Finn soon realised that Eamon and his father meant him no harm. They took Finn home, hoping to learn more about him and his world. However, it soon became clear that Finn couldn't survive outside the water for long. His breathing became laboured, and his scales began to dry out. Eamon knew they had to return him to his underwater home. With a heavy heart, Finn and Eamon made their way back to the river. As they dived beneath the surface, Eamon felt a mix of fear and excitement. He had never ventured into such depths before, and the underwater world was both beautiful and intimidating. They swam through vibrant coral reefs and schools of curious fish, finally arriving at Finn's underwater kingdom, The Abyssians. The boy was awestruck by the sight of these creatures with human faces, hands, and legs, but also fins and fish scales. They moved gracefully through the water, their expressions a mix of curiosity and caution as they observed the newcomer. Finn introduced him to his family and friends, and the initial wariness soon gave way to warmth and hospitality. Eamon spent time exploring the underwater kingdom, marvelling at its beauty and learning about the Abyssians' way of life. He and Finn became inseparable, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. Eamon's presence in this realm was not without its challenges, but his determination and kindness won over the Abyssians. As the boys navigated the complexities of their two worlds, they faced numerous adventures and dangers. From evading predatory sea creatures to uncovering hidden secrets of the kingdom, their journey was filled with both excitement and peril. Through it all, their friendship remained steadfast, a beacon of hope and courage in the face of adversity. "A Fish Hook & The Riverboy" is a tale of friendship, bravery, and the unbreakable bond between two boys from different worlds. It is a story that will captivate readers with its blend of humour, suspense, and heartwarming moments. Join Finn and Eamon as they embark on an unforgettable adventure, discovering the true meaning of loyalty and friendship."
