The Lingbo Pond is a big pond where the duck-catching competition is going to take place. In the middle of the lake is a green reed marsh. It is a few miles long and has a frightening name: “Great Snake Reed”.
The whole town, both young and old, has come out to watch the duckcatching competition. Grandpa and Little Mi push through the crowd all the way to the bank. Two long, narrow fishing boats are moored to the river bank. A few rowers are carrying two big drums onto the boat.
“Mr. Lu, everyone is waiting for you on the boat!”
Grandpa nods and gets on the boat with Little Mi.
