　　我的业余爱好

　　我的业余爱好是钓鱼.它不仅有趣,且有意义——它磨炼我的意志.

　　上星期天,我和朋友何平去钓鱼.黎明时动身,骑了3小时自行车后,来到达合肥郊区的一条小溪边.溪水又清又净,能看见鱼在水里游.撤满草茛的草地倾斜着伸向小漠.那是个钓鱼的好地方.

　　几分钟后,一切准备就绪.把钓饵鱼虫放在钩上,并将直线垂入溪中,手握钓竿等在那儿垂钓.1小时过去了,我一条鱼也没钓着,不时地提起钓竿,一次又一次地失望,无鱼上钩.而溪对面何平已钓了好几条鱼,其中还有1条是大鱼呢.

　　“怎么你钓鱼那么容易,而对我却那么难?”我问道.

　　“这并不难.只是需要耐心.”何平答道：“一定要等浮子全沉下后再举起钓竿,鱼就在钩上欢迎你了.”
