      Goin’ Fishing

      Joe, hurry up and get down here. The Mortons have arrived," nine-year-old Frank Hardy yelled up the stairs to his eight-year-old brother.

      I need help, Joe called back. I can’t get this dumb bag shut.

      Frank took the stairs two at a time. Then he stood with his mouth open, staring at Joe’s bed. On it lay a large sports bag, crammed completely full. More clothes and shoes were piled high next to the bag.

      Joe! Frank exclaimed. We’re only going for a weekend. What do you have in there?

      Just stuff I’m going to need, Joe said.

      Frank went over to the bag and looked in it. A goldfish bowl? he demanded. Why do you need a goldfish bowl?

      That’s to keep any interesting fish I catch, Joe said.

      And a baseball mitt?

      In case we get bored and want to play baseball.

      Frank turned the bag upside down and tipped everything out onto the bed. Joe, we’re going to a lake. There’s going to be tons of fun things to do. You don’t need a basketball or a baseball mitt or your video games. Here, give me your clothes. He started stuffing shorts, swim trunks, and T-shirts into the bag.

      From outside came another toot on the horn. Okay, let’s get out of here, Frank said, grabbing Joe’s bag from the bed.

      Joe followed him. Wait a second. Maybe we should take an extra cooler for all the fish I’m going to catch.

      Frank grinned. If Chefs family is anything like Chet, they’re going to eat anything that we catch.

      The boys’ friend Chet Morton was famous for always being hungry.

      You’re right. Joe took his jacket from the peg in the hall. At least we know that we’re not going to starve this weekend.

      Mr. and Mrs. Hardy were already outside, talking to the Mortons. The minivan looked completely full. The canoe and tents were up on the roof. Chet waved from the middle seat. Mr. Hardy took the boys’ bags and helped squeeze them into the back of the minivan.

      Are you sure you’re only going away for a weekend? Mr. Hardy laughed.

      Most of this stuff is food, Mr. Morton said. He opened the back door for the boys.

      Joe grinned at Frank. Told you we weren’t going to starve, he whispered.

      Have fun, boys, Mrs. Hardy said, giving them a hug.

      And remember to listen to Chefs parents, Mr. Hardy reminded them.

      Don’t worry. We will, Frank said. He climbed into the minivan. Joe followed him. Chet and his younger sister, Iola, were already sitting by the windows.

      Scoot over, Iola, Chet told her. "Frank’s
