Fishing

"Why so dishonest? Think of any lie you once told, and force yourself to stick with the first one that pops in your head. Write a piece about that lie."

When my younger brother and I were living in Texas with our grandparents, we use to go swimming and fishing in the lake we lived by every week. We would go down there with friends and neighbors and always have a good time swimming and fishing sometimes. One day we went fishing and werent catching anything at all. We always still had fun because we would just bs the whole time. Our horseplaying was probably the main reason we never caught anything. So around the time were going to head back to the house, a man pulls to shore on his boat and hes holding two very large bass. We tell him that he got a great catch. He and his wife tell us that they don't really like eating them just fishing, and offer to give them to us. We took them and thanked them alot. We brought them back to the house and we told our grandfather that we caught them ourselves. We don't know why besides the reason that we both kind of hated him. He was an asshole, and everyone knew it. I think we inittialy thought we would end up breaking down and telling him we didn't catch them but we never did.
