' cried his wife . ` How did a pike get there ? It IS a pike -- you need n't attempt to say it 's not . Can people have said true -- ' But the man only shook his head and shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth and gaped as if he really could not believe his own eyes . ` What are you standing staring at there , stupid ? ' said his wife . ` Climb up the tree quick and catch the pike , and we 'll cook it for dinner . ' The man climbed up the tree and brought down the pike , and they drove on . When they got near the stream he drew up . ` What are you staring at again ? ' asked his wife impatiently . ` Drive on , ca n't you ? ' ` Why , I seem to see something moving in that net I set . I must just go and see what it is . ' He ran to it , and when he had looked in it he called to his wife : ` Just look !
