Figure descriptions
A barefoot girl and boy meet at the edge of a stone wall. The girl stands and holds
a wooden fishing pole. The boy sits on the
wall. He unhooks a fish from the end of the girl’s fishing line while the girl watches.
There is a small jug beside the boy’s
crossed feet. A body of water stretches out behind the children and beyond the wall.
Boats sail on the water and birds fly in the
sky. Full-page illustration contained within a single-ruled border.
