Brotherly Love

A boy was taking care of his noisy baby sister while his parents went to
town shopping. He decided to go fishing and took her with him.

"I'll never do that again," he told his mother that evening. "I didn't
catch a thing!"

"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and not scare the fish away,"
his mother said.

"It wasn't that," the boy said. "She ate all the bait."
