Fishing tales

After a long snowfall, a thaw set in, followed by severe frosts. However, how can these winter troubles stop a true fisherman ?! Therefore, despite the terrible cold, my constant partner, Alexander Rykov, and I went fishing. The snow crust, which had slightly thawed in the thaw, was now so frozen in frost that it did not sink underfoot at all.

Despite the early morning, we were not the first on the lake … Ten and a half anglers were already conjuring over the holes. Rykov and I and several other fishermen and I settled down in a calm place in a small bay not far from the amulet. It began to peck quickly, but the okushki and brushes were so small that they were in no way suitable for trophies. Moreover, all anglers, without exception. Since the active nibbling of this little thing did not stop, Rykov and I stopped fishing altogether for some time.

- Look to the left, Sasha, - said my partner quietly, looking towards the shore.

I turned and saw … a fox. She stood a little further away and, without stopping, looked at us. Patrikeevna looked somehow unusual. Either from illness, or from hunger, but she was very thin and shabby. And the dull, pitiful look further strengthened this impression.

- Probably, the frost has tightly bound the ground, and the fox cannot mouse, - suggested the elderly man, who was closest to the animal. - So, we need to feed her, - said the guy in the sheepskin coat and threw a few fish in the direction of the fox.

Patrikeevna, apparently, did not understand his good intentions, and therefore jumped aside. And then she stopped. She clearly saw the profit, but her natural fear of man kept her from temptation. However, it is not for nothing that the popular wisdom says: "Hunger is not an aunt, she will not give a pie." Therefore, overcoming fear, the fox very carefully began to approach the fish thrown to her. He will take a few steps, stop, look around and only then move on.

Finally, after a long pause, finding herself five meters from the nearest fisherman, she made up her mind: she grabbed the perch with her teeth and, running back a few meters, eagerly swallowed it. Probably, realizing that nothing threatens her, the guest noticeably grew bolder and began to pick up fishing gifts. And the fishermen are happy about it: they threw and threw the caught trifle. After all, not to carry home such a worthless catch, and throwing it away is also a pity. But feeding a hungry unfortunate animal means doing a good deed.

The fox, meanwhile, picked up most of the treat, and grabbed the remaining fish in the teeth and slowly trotted towards the shore.

- Well done Patrikeevna, - one of the fishermen joked: - Not only did I eat, but I also took the stock with me.

And the fishermen smiled, looking after the fleeing fox.
