A story about a boy and his grandfather, fishing.16 total reviews
Comment from Sharon Davis
This is a poignant and heartwarming story that examines the close relationship between a grandfather and his grandson. While fishing is the activity described, it is emotional support for those we love that is the true theme of the piece. Great job.

Your contest entry reads straight from the heart. I enjoyed reading it. I could picture everything about this story. Great use of POV. Your story has a great moral about working together and the bond of grandson and grandfather that transcends health issues. I would not capitalize Bass or Catfish. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This child perspective story, Fish Story, is a terrific look at a pivotal moment in both a l]old man's grip on his life and a boy's step into soul's maturity. Nice.

This is truly a beautiful and heart warming story. What a wonderful connection here between these two fishermen! Everyone should have such a relationship with a grandparent.

A beautiful, well-written story about a boy and his grandfather. There is something special about a fishing trip like this. So glad that the little boy realized just what to say to his grandfather, to help him. Sometimes that is all a person with this condition needs to get them back on track. I love he line: "when we put our hands together miracles happen."

A charming story warmly written by a loving grandchild. Fishing is a tradition I believe. It gets handed down from one generation to the next. I have never practiced it because I am passionately fond of animals. Then again, I have to admit that I do eat fish. Kind regards

It's a beautiful tribute to your Papi. Memories like this are the ones that stay with you forever. How smart the little child told the grampa to hold his hand and then could stop the shaking. Very smart kid. This might be your f1irst story but you told it extremely well. Great job! Good luck with the contest.

This is a fantastic story, both in terms of form (yes a child would be drawn to fixate on huge worms) and content (love shines through very clearly). It has a good storyline and deserves to do well in the contest.
