Dan was an enterprising boy , and a general favourite with the hotel owners . They knew that he could always be depended on . Mrs. Phillips met him at the door when he reached home . `` See , Mother , '' said Dan exultantly , as he held up his fish . `` Just look at that fellow , will you ? A pound if he 's an ounce ! I ought to get a good price for these , I can tell you . Let me have my dinner now , and I 'll go right over to the Lake with them . '' `` It 's a long walk for you , Danny , '' replied his mother pityingly , `` and it 's too hot to go so far . I 'm afraid you 'll get sun-struck or something . You 'd better wait till the cool of the evening . You 're looking real pale and thin this while back . '' `` Oh , I 'm all right , Mother , '' assured Dan cheerfully . `` I do n't mind the heat a bit . A fellow must put up with some inconveniences . Wait till I bring home the money for these fish . And I mean to have another catch tonight . It 's you that 's looking tired . I wish you did n't have to work so hard , Mother . If I could only get a good place you could take it easier .
