There once was a young man named Jonathan who somewhat resembled me.
He was old enough to think but too old to be cute and thought about very much. His mother was busy and his dad a trifle old–and everything Jonathan really enjoyed was not appreciated by anybody else in his abode.
His dad and brothers favored hunting and fishing. It made them feel macho. Jonathan, on the other hand, was more “couch-o.”
But he was still willing to try.
He took the gun thrust into his hands and went out to chase rabbits. He liked shooting, but couldn’t hit any of the fuzzy bunnies.
The male members of the herd were greatly disappointed. A “stalefate.”
One sunny afternoon, he walked with a pole to the city reservoir to fish. An hour passed. Then two. Yet all at once, he had a bite on his hook. He pulled in the biggest fish he had ever conceived.
He ran home with his prize, stopping along the way to pant and catch his breath.
Jonathan’s dad was thrilled. He told Jonathan that he had caught a walleye–one and one-half pounds. The father was so impressed.
Then an hour later the newspaper showed up to get the whole story and take a picture. It was in the next week’s edition.
For a full three days following the print-out, Jonathan was small-town famous–the young man who had bagged a reservoir walleye.
For a while his dad was proud. No doubt about it.
It felt good.
