‘We must go backwards,’ said Daeng.
‘Then you can pull the net into the boat.’
Very slowly, Daeng reversed the boat.
‘Can you pull the net in now?’ he asked Lek.
Lek pulled the fishing net as hard as he could.
But the fishing net still did not move. ‘No!’ Lek replied.
‘Pull again!’ Daeng told Lek.
Suddenly Lek shouted, ‘Yes! It’s coming!’
Daeng went quickly to the side of the boat and helped Lek. They started to pull the net
into the boat.
