About this book

"Young man," laughed the farmer, "You're sort of a fool! You'll never catch fish in McElligot's Pool!" "Hmmm" answered Marco, "It may be you're right. I've been here three hours without one single bite. There might be no fish, but again, well, there might!" A boy imagines the rare and wonderful fish he might catch in McElligot's pool.
