The narrator’s
father tells him a tall tale about a big, big fish. Big enough to eat
full-grown eagles and beavers – but gentle enough to rescue a baby who falls
into the lake.
There are tournaments
geared toward one thing – catching Jangles. The fishers use whole turkeys as
bait!
Then one
day, the father falls into the lake, and Jangles leads him to his cave in the
depths of the lake, and tells him tales of wonder. Then father catches Jangles, or so he says. Jangles ask to be let go, but father says no
one will believe he caught him. Jangles say,”
Is that more important than doing what is right?”
A question
for us all to ponder.
