the pike story

This contributor to the Voices for the Lake exhibit at ECHO responded to the prompt: Think about when you felt connected to water in your community. Tell us about that memory…

one sunny day at my cosuin's cabin, julia and I were in the cabin
looking at the wall of fish that they caught and I saw a pike fish
that had sharp teeth and I said " WOW! that is a cool fish!". " ya
it's a pike"julia said.''if it bite's me will it hurt?"I said.'' ya you bet
it will''! so I got worried if I get in the lake it will bite me! But
julia said ''it only lives in the swamp and they only come out after a rain storm" so I got over my fear of it!
