The Borrowed Net

One day I used my friend, Elijah’s, net. I went to the pond and tried to catch a frog. Then the net came off the handle in the pond. I wanted to find the net, but I couldn’t see it. We got rakes and scraped on the edge of the pond. But we only found weeds. Then I said, “Jesus, help me find the net.” Then we found it! I was so glad to give it back to Elijah.
