(1) That day started out like almost every other day that summer. (2) Right after breakfast I trotted down the street to Dennis Rand’s house to see what he wanted to do. (3) The weather was warm and sunny. (4) He and I decided to go fishing at Greenleaf Pond. (5) Dennis had more luck than I did that day, at least in the fishing department. (6) He caught a couple of sunfish, which I always called kibbies or pumpkinseeds, and three yellow perch. (7) All I caught was a couple of scrawny shiners. (8) Just as we were getting kind of drowsy and a little hungry for lunch, I heard voices somewhere behind me in the woods. (9) Then, when I looked up, I spotted something in the water. (10) I’m not sure how I knew, but I realized immediately that it was a child floating in the pond! (11) Without thinking, I dropped my fishing pole and dove into the water. (12) Dennis thought I was some kind of a nut for diving into that puddle of muck, but he forgot all about that when I came wading out holding a little girl in my arms. (13) I didn’t really know how to take care of a toddler, so I was glad when I saw some adults come running out of the woods by the nature trail. (14) “Lucy!” cried the man, glaring at me as he roughly took the girl from my arms. (15) “What are you doing?” he asked indignantly. (16) I was dripping with water and too surprised to respond, I just stood there. (17) But Dennis came to my rescue. (18) “Your kid fell into the pond, and he just saved that girl’s life!” cried Dennis. (19) “You should be thanking him!” (20) “Oh,” said the man rather sheepishly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize.” (21) The man, whose name was Mr. Rollins, did thank me. (22) His wife thanked me, too, when she found out what had happened. (23) Later that day, two newspaper reporters came and interviewed me, and I got my picture in the paper. (24) So, I didn’t catch any decent fish that day, but I did manage to reel in something else—and that made me feel pretty good.
