Down the river Adventure

On a sunny morning, Lucas and his playful dog Cody set off to explore the river near their village. The water sparkled under the sun, and Lucas couldn’t resist jumping in. Cody splashed alongside him, barking with excitement as they swam and played. The river was cool and refreshing, perfect for a summer day adventure.

As they reached a calm part of the river, Lucas noticed a girl sitting on a rock with a fishing rod. She had a bucket with small fish beside her. 'Hi there!' Lucas called out, waving. The girl smiled and introduced herself as Zoe. Lucas was curious about fishing and asked if she could teach him.

Zoe agreed to teach Lucas how to fish, making sure Cody promised not to scare the fish away. For the next hour, Zoe showed Lucas how to cast a line and wait patiently. Cody tried to 'help' by barking at every ripple, making them laugh until their sides hurt. Suddenly, Zoe’s fishing rod bent, and she caught a shiny, wriggling fish. Lucas was amazed and cheered for Zoe.

Zoe decided to let the fish go, gently releasing it back into the water. As the sun set, painting the sky with orange and pink, the three sat by the riverbank. They shared Lucas’s snacks and told stories, laughing and enjoying each other's company. They promised to meet again for more adventures by the river. From that day on, Lucas, Cody, and Zoe became the best of friends.
