It was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a
frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice and dropped in his
fishing line. He was there for almost an hour, without even
a nibble, when a
young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a
hole in the ice not far from him. The
young boy dropped his
fishing line and minutes later he hooked a largemouth bass.
The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up to
plain luck. But, shortly thereafter, the
young boy caught
another large fish.
The
young boy kept catching fish after fish. Finally, the
old man couldn't take it any longer. "Son, I've been here
for over an hour without even a nibble. You've been here
only a few minutes and have caught a half dozen fish! How
do you do it?"
The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
"What was that?" the old man asked.
Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm."
"Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word you're
saying."
The boy spit something into his hand and then answered, "You
have to keep the worms warm!"
