The Boy Had a Very Strange Fishing Secret…
An old Berliner is taking a winter holiday in the Bavarian Alps and decides to try ice fishing on a frozen lake.
He knew fishing well – he’d done it all his life. But drilling a hole in a frozen lake was new to him.
So he sits down with his equipment at the ice hole and waits.
After an hour he still hadn’t caught a single fish.
Then a little boy comes along, drills a second hole very close by and also starts fishing.
Less than five minutes later, the boy pulls out a huge trout.
The old man is still thinking to himself:
“Well, I was lucky.”
But five minutes later, the boy pulls out another fish. Then another. And another.
Finally, the old man could no longer stand it and asked:
“Tell me, kid… I’ve been sitting here for over an hour and haven’t caught anything – and you’re pulling out one fish after another! How do you do that?”
The boy answers with his mouth full:
“Mmmf mmmf keep the worms warm!”
“What?”
“Mmmf mmmf keep the worms warm!”
“I don’t understand a word! Can you speak more clearly?”
Then the boy spits something into his hand and says:
“You have to keep the worms warm!”
