Jayden was heading to the place he’d call home for the next week: Camp Massomet.
Being away from home for the first time was hard for Jayden. On top of that, Jayden was asked to join the same patrol (巡逻队) with a kid they called Big Quinn, who always seemed to be unhappy, especially in the morning. Jayden tried hard to avoid upsetting (打扰) him.
On the fourth night, some of the older guys came back from the lake, laughing excitedly. Big Quinn was at the center of the pack, holding something above his head. It was a fish, the biggest Jayden had ever seen.
Big Quinn was smiling from ear to ear, and Jayden realized it was the first time he’d seen him wear a smile. Kids in Jayden’s patrol were excited to taste Big Quinn’s fish.
Evening came.
Jayden began to set out the paper cups around the table. Jayden didn’t feel like walking all the way around the table to set out the last few cups. So he spread out his body across the table to put the cups in place. But when he pulled his arm back, he overturned the plate holding Big Quinn’s fish, which was cut into thin pieces and covered in foil (锡纸), knocking it off the table.
Jayden watched in fear as it fell onto the dusty ground. Frightened, without a second thought, he kicked the fish under the table and covered it up with dirt. Then Jayden set the plate back on the table, the foil still in the shape of a fish that wasn’t there.
Then Big Quinn came and picked up the plate. He noticed something unusual. He opened the foil.
“HEYY!” he shouted. “Where’s my FISH?” He wasn’t smiling anymore.
After dinner, it rained hard. Everything on the ground was washed away in the heavy rain. Jayden’s eyes went to the area under his patrol’s picnic table. The fish was gone.
Big Quinn would never know what he did.
