The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher

by Beatrix Potter

Overview

When Mr. Jeremy Fisher decides to have a luncheon of minnows with his friends, he set off upon his lily pad boat to make a fine catch. There is a very fine catch indeed; except it is a hungry trout that does the catching, and it is Mr. Jeremy Fisher himself who is caught. The luncheon with his friends happens right on schedule, but there is no fish on the menu, and there may never be fish on Mr. Fisher's menu again.
