Synopsis :

                On Saturday afternoon, his friends and billy went to fishing spot. They walked beside Mrs Hoskey’s house. Suddenly, Mrs hoskey shouted them and asked to one of them to bought a something in shopping list. No one of them   become volunteer. Mrs Hoskey asked billy and promised billy with money. Billy agreed and went to market. When he got Mrs  hoskey’s home, Mrs Hoskey give him bread and jam but not money like her promised. Billy took the bread and put into his pocket.

                Billy went to the river and meet his friends. They were fishing there. A few minutes later, his friend suggested them to go to the mill to catch the carp. Arrived in the mill, the found fishing spot and they saw Mr Pratt there. Mr Pratt was fishing untill ten hour today, but he can’t catched anything. He looks very frustrated. Billy started to fishing, he used the bread from Mrs Hoskey as the bait. In short time, billy caatched his first carp, his friends was very suprised. Billy catched much carp and he gave to his friends too. After they are fishing, they got back to their house, but suddenly in the street they look ambulance car in front of Billy’s house. Her mother shouted to him and the police officer asked to billy. Billy was very confused and he did’t know what was going on.

                His mother and billy are getting in the ambulance, his mother told him about the bread from Mrs Hoskey. His mother was very frightened and billy also very frightened too. Her mother told billy if the bread and jam from Mrs Hoskey was very poisonous. Billy was very shock to heard that.

My Opinion :

                This story tell me about “how we follow the instruction from the expert.” I say like that base on Mr Hoskey. Do you remember what he say to his wife? Mr Hoskey said to his wife don’t give the bread and jam to billy because the bread still not cook properly, but his wife, Mrs Hoskey give the bread and jam to billy. She didn’t listen to her husband. At the end of story, we know that the billy still alive because he didn’t eat the bread and jam but he used the bread as a bait to catch the carp. You know what? The carp was  dying because of the bread.

                In this story, we can make the conclusion that we should follow the instruction or step to make our life safely and we should talk about the truth to people. I hate billy because he a liar.
