[Bob the Castaway by Frank V. Webster]@TWC D-Link bookBob the Castaway CHAPTER XIX 4/14
As he penetrated a little way into the wood, he heard the gurgle of water. "That sounds good," he remarked. Stepping cautiously, because of his bare feet, he went on a little farther and presently saw a small waterfall, caused by a stream tumbling over a little ledge of rocks and splashing into a pool below. "That looks better than it sounds," thought Bob.
And a moment later he was drinking his fill.
"Seems as if there might be fish in there," he went on, glancing at the pool.
"Guess I'll try it." Bob was fond of hunting and fishing and knew considerable about wood-lore.
Searching under the stones he soon found some worms, and, tossing one into the middle of the pool, he saw a hungry fish rise to it. "Now if I had a pole, hook, and line I'd soon have a breakfast," he went on to himself.
