Heidi stood still, holding the stick in the flowing water which had the mesh made wire at the end of it. Every once in a while Howard, the coachman of the Curtis' family and Heidi went to the river stream to catch freshwater fish and today was one of those days.
Her Uncle Raymond Curtis was visiting them with his wife in the evening and her father had asked her to prepare fish for dinner as it was his brother's favored meat. It wasn't that the market didn't have them. The market of their town had plenty of them, which was sold to their townsfolk as well as to the next nearby town. Howard and Heidi, instead of spending the money which was given to them to buy the fish, they saved it. Rather Howard gave it to her saying he was getting old for saving anything in his age.
Her feet were immersed in the cold water as it sped towards them while they were surrounded by the calm sound of the water that flowed at the same ever-changing pace.
