Paul and his dad were planning their first fishing trip of the year.

"What should I pack, Dad?" said Paul. "I don't want to forget anything."

"Just bring your pole, Paul. I've got everything else we'll need already in the car," said Dad. "Mom's already packed us a big lunch. We want to get an early start!"

"Should I bring a sweatshirt?" questioned Paul.

"Oh, it's always cool in the morning near the lake. You'll need more than a sweatshirt. You need to make sure you dress warm."

Paul headed up to bed. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep, Dad. I'm too excited!"
