A Fishing Tale
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I photographed Caleb Brooks, 7, of High Ridge catching his fourth fish of the day. He was having a stroke of beginners luck. The beauty of this story was as the afternoon went on he turned into a classic fisherman. With each retelling of the story the fish size became larger and larger.
Dawn:
nice little story and picture, however, “this kid” probably has a name, even if you only used his first name…Joey from Fenton caught this fish, etc.
Also, I believe the spelling for the numerical past tense of Four is Fourth, and Forth is to go forward, as in time. And re-telling should be retelling. I guess when the story/caption is only three sentences long, the editor does not bother reviewing it?
