Alexander went to a rock in the creek and crouched down. "Dexter, there is plenty of fish in here, but they're hard to catch." He said watching the fish. "If you can trap one, that would be your best bet." Alexander moved some rocks over. "We're going to trap them in here. You're going to have to put your face in the water to catch one with your teeth."Jezza trotted off to find more food, she put her nose to the ground as she tried to figure out why Dexter had been funny with her. Maybe he had a crush on her, she laughed at the thought no. He wouldn’t have a crush on her after only knowing her for one day. Maybe she’d offended him, she thought back to what she could have said but nothing.
Then she caught the scent of a rabbit and trotted in search of the rabbit, eyes searching and nose tracking the scent
Alexander showed Dexter what to do and where to stand. "Now, stay here. I'll lead the fish into the trap and you catch one." Alexander told his son and went down the creek a little. Dexter did everything his father had told him, and waited. Alexander lead the fish into the trap he had set. Once they went in, Dexter quickly threw his head under water and bit down- hard! And a little too hard at that. He yelped loudly in pain and jumped back. He quickly got out of the creek and hid under a bush whimpering.
Alexander stood there surprised at Dexter's strange reaction before going over to him. "Dexter? What happened?" He asked. Dexter looked up painfully at his father. His teeth was bleeding. That's what Alexander realized what had happened. "Dexter, you but a rock, not a fish," he said sadly. He licked Dexter to comfort him.
