He stared at the mountain top on the other side.

He could hear the waves lapping and the cries of the seagulls.

Menathey began to paddle.  He went away from the beach.  His father was letting the net into the water.

 

Ho t蓹s ta sayayins ta p虛a蕯蓹膷.

He got to the end of the net.

He paddled along close to the beach.

His father threw a large rock overboard.  It is the anchor for the net.

Menathey stared at so much fish.  They are so big.

His heart beat rapidly.  They were so beautiful.

The net is tied in the boat.  Menathey heads towards the shore.

He hands over the end of the net to his uncle.

鈥淚 wonder how much we caught?鈥�  Menathey begins to ask again.

 

Qa蠂a膷蓻s蓹m j蓻nx史 ma蕯ax史蓻t st虛ok史?

Do you think we will catch a lot of fish today?

Will there be enough to give some to everyone?

I wonder if the fish will come back next year.

 

鈥淭o蠂n蓻xx史拧t 蕯ot鈥� nat蓹m 拧蓻 mans.

They began to pull in the net.  He saw the fish caught in the net.

 

Tawt蓹s 拧蓻 膷蓻p胃s, 鈥渉蓻w 蕯iy mot tums q史al qaj蓻蕯蓹s 茮蓻q史. 蕯ot qaqa q史ayin x史蓹 膷蓻m蓹s qayt 膷蓻t qa蠂 j蓻nx史.鈥�  蕯iy mot tums y蓻y蓻胃ot.鈥�

He said to his uncle, 鈥渋t is good we came while the tide was high.  If it was low tide we might not have caught much fish.  We did a good thing.鈥�

 

Gaya涩tan膷:   Question:

Why would Menathey think that you would catch only a small amount of salmon when it is low tide.
