COFFEE & BISCUITS

One morning, my Dad was flipping through the newspaper as usual when an advertisement caught his eyes.  It is a bank auction of foreclosed properties.  Being interested cheap real estate properties, he went to the auction.  By the time he left, he is an owner of an apartment at Sea Cove.  Later, he said the reason for the purchase is fish.  You see, my Dad is an avid fishmonger, and catches are getting smaller in the water next to his home.  He believed that he could find more fertile fishing grounds in Sea Cove.

 One day my father was digging the soil of his garden to plant a loongeye tree when the shuffle hit something hard. It was concrete in the soil.  He dug further and discovered that the soil actually covered up a beautifully designed fishpond, half of which lies in our garden;  the other half lies in the garden of Uncle Tom, our neighbor. 

Doesn’t Uncle Tom know about this pond from his days being one of the original residents of Sea Cove?
