THE "GOOD ENDEAVOUR" LEAGUE FOR YOUNG READERS ONLY
What ho. what lio. m:i hearties. Well I. in us 1 say lhat the rain was Aery rel're.sliiiig and did my garden lons of good, I expect it was needed in Wha'liatanc too. The only tiling about rain is thai it keeps you indoors and you just have to settle down and do jobs that can lie dune under cover. f always hate doing llial when Ilicre are so inanv more interesting tilings to be done outside. Fur instance I have been doing some hapuka fishing lately and I have just discovered a new rock going down into deep deep water where they are very plentiful. I promised the skipper ol' the coastal vessel which comes lo WhaUalane that 1 wuuld have a good load lor lii 111 next time he called in. What do I get? The rain just conies down and here I am i'orced lo sit doing nothing, while the boat calls in and the captain winks as he says to me- — '\l. don't believe there are any hapuka where you say there are. It must be all your imagination." So now you know why I'm a bit angry Avith the weather. Heigho -never lr.'ind! I' ex pee t it Avill be alright next time, he comes and I'll have so many ol' the big I'ellows lor him I'll jollv well sink Jiis old boat and it will serve h1 in right.
