Chapter 2: First Fishing Trip

" Tod, I don't know about this. I don't think he's ready." A concerned Vixey said on a lovely summer day.

" Don't worry dear, he will be fine." Tod said with a grin. He kind of figured that Vixey would be worried. Their son was only a kit after all.

" Yeah mama, I will be fine." Said Sebastian excitedly. He was really stoked for what he was about to get to do for the first time.

" Okay. You better be carefull." Vixey said, a hint of concern still in her voice.

" I will Mama." Sebastian said.

" You better keep him close, Tod. I don't want to lose him." Vixey said.

Tod giggled a little. " Vixey, you worry to much. We will be fine."

" Yeah mama." Sebastian said.

" You better." Vixey said.

" Alright, lets go pal." Tod said.

" Right behind you papa." Sebastain said, as they left their den.

What were doing you ask? Well, Tod was taking Sebastian on his first fishing trip. Why in the world would Tod being doing that? Everybody knows that Tod is the worst fisher fox that has ever lived. He wouldn't be much of a fishing teacher.

" Well, were here." Tod said when they arrived at the fishing pond.

Sebastian was bouncing with excitement. " Can we fish now papa? Can we, can we, can we?" he asked.

Tod laughed out loud. " Hold up their buddy, I got to teach you first."

" Ok papa. Teach me, teach me, teach me." Sebastian said, still bouncing with excitement.

" Alright, walk to the edge of the pond." Tod said, walking to the edge of the pond.

Sebastian mirrored his father and walked towards the edge of the pond. " Ok, what now papa?" he asked.

" He is one eager student." Tod thought to himself.

" Now, look into the pond. Do you see any fish.?" Tod asked. Sebastian looked into the pond to see several fish swimming around. "Yes Papa, I do." He said.

" Okay, heres what your supposed to do. When you see a fish, try to grab it. " Tod said.

" Can I try, Papa?" Sebastian asked.

" Of course buddy, give it a try." Tod said. He was thinking that Sebastian wouldn't catch one. Sebastian was very young and inexperienced.

Sebastian did as his papa told him he looked into the pond. He waited for a fish to pass. It was obvious by the way he giggled a little a few minutes later that he had found one. He then dunked his head in the water and a few second later, had a fish clenched between his teeth.

" Wow, It seems we have a natural." Tod said, beaming with pride for his son. Sebastian spit the fish out in front of him and then said, " Thank you papa." " Well, do you think you can catch some more for mama?" Tod asked. " Of course papa." Sebastian said, then he was off to work.

Within a few minutes a pile of fish was laying on the forest floor. " Well, were going to have to take these home." Tod said picking fish up with his mouth. " Yeah, lets go papa." Sebastian said before picking up a fish as well and walking back to the den.

They were back at the den within a couple of minutes. " I see it went well." Vixey said with a smile. Tod and Sebastian set there fish on the ground. " Our son is a natural. He easily caught twenty fish." Tod said, smiling. " Yeah mama, I did good." Sebastian said.

" I am so proud of you, son. Wait, did you say twenty? You only brought back two." Vixey confusingly asked.

" We got to go back for the rest." Tod said.
