A good little story

A father and son were fishing from the bank of the Contoocook River. They dozed off. A fog rolled in. The son woke up, alarmed. “Father,” he said, “We ain’t here no more.”

“Don’t worry, son,” the father said. “We ain’t far from here.”

I love this lttle story. I don’t know why.

About Becky

  • Becky has lived all her life (so far) in New Hampshire. She has written several other popular books set in her home state, including "The Best Revenge," a collection of short stories that was named one of the five Essential New Hampshire Books by New Hampshire Magazine, and "Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments and Outright Lies."
