Trout Summer

by John Peter

"Aww ...Mom, do I have to"?Yes, Danny had to pack his clothes, books, and baseball glove and spend the summer in northern Maine. The whole summer! Osprey Lake, where there was no shopping mall, arcade games, Little League, no anything of interest to a twelve-year-old city boy. There were just trees, mosquitoes, and maybe bears. That was one unhappy kid who boarded the bus in Hartford. He feared months of boredom. In his wildest dreams he could not imagine having to chase a bank robber through the woods with a Winchester .30-30.
